History

History remains among the most fascinating and best-loved of the arts and social science disciplines. This is an exceptional degree which makes the most of our unique West End location.<br/><br/>Our course is modern, with a focus on British and European history, but there are many opportunities to study American, imperial and global history as well. A distinctive element of the degree is its focus on the extraordinary history of London.<br/><br/>You’ll explore the streets of the capital, learn how to conduct your own research in London’s unique archives, and graduate as a well-trained and experienced historian, ready to launch yourself into the world of work in careers such as the media, education, law and the Civil Service – or into further study or research.<br/><br/>You’ll also gain the transferable and cognitive skills necessary for lifelong personal and professional development.<br/><br/>Research underpins much of our teaching, and we encourage you into a community of scholars, through teaching which will enthuse and inspire you.
