Course overview
History is first and foremost about people, the forces that shaped their lives and the ways in which they changed their societies. Studying history makes us aware that our world today took on its current appearance less by chance than as a result of specific developments and decisions taken in the past.

It is an innovative degree that gives coherence and depth to your learning and opportunities to develop key skills for employment.
