You will also explore the social, cultural and political development of the 15th century to the present day while also focusing on British, European and American history.

    You can benefit from a high level of flexibility in your degree pathway. Module choices do not need to be made until the second year and you may choose whether to major in Education or in History or to keep an even split of subjects.

    You will have the opportunity to develop employability skills and knowledge through volunteering, events, field trips to historical sites, workshops and work placements with local partners in history and heritage. Students will also engage with research placements, organising talks and social events.

    You will be taught by an enthusiastic and experienced team who have substantial research, writing and teaching experience, in schools, colleges and higher education.

    There are a variety of assessment formats including, essays, practical reports, presentations, time-constrained essays, multiple-choice tests, group project work, analysis and reflection. The learning methods that you will experience during your studies will include lectures, seminar discussions, role play, placements, exhibitions and group projects, in which ideas can be shared and developed.
