The past is our teacher, our textbook and our guide to a brighter future.

Studying history isn’t only about what has happened – it’s about how you’ll act on it, and what will happen next. By developing critical thinking, communication and analytical skills, you’ll boost your employability and gain a global outlook on the historical issues which continue to burden the present.

You’ll graduate with a range of valuable experience, knowledge and skills to apply in real-world situations.
