Studying a History degree allows you to explore a wide cross-section of profoundly different periods and historically significant worlds. Your studies will span from medieval, early modern and modern history, to themes of gender and women's history, cultural history, and memory of war and conflict. The third year is spent abroad in Europe or the USA, where you will study at a University, teach in a school or work in a business. Our four-year degree helps to provide graduates with a wealth of inspiring career opportunities thanks to numerous transferable skills which are highly valued by employers. History at Swansea achieved an overall satisfaction rating of 93% in the 2017 National Student Survey (NSS) while 94% of graduates are employed or in further study 6 months after graduating (Destination of Leavers from HE survey 2015). Some, 80% of our students achieved a 1st class or 2.1 honours degree in 2017/18. Your early studies will concentrate on the early modern world from 1500 to 1800, and modern British history. But whether your true passion lies in medieval Europe, revolutionary America or the cold war, our generous range of modules has it covered. This range helps you to narrow your interests for the following years. Based on our stunning Singleton Park campus overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula, you will have the ability to tailor your degree according to your specific interests as you progress. Swansea is a perfect gateway to the medieval past. Within a short journey are magnificent castles such as Pembroke and Manorbier, as well as medieval churches and fortresses in the Gower. Later studies are shaped by modules around your specific historical interest and a substantial dissertation project, while three separate work placement programmes are available to help prepare you for graduate life. History students typically develop oral and writing skills through presenting ideas in different formats, supported by strong research and rigorous analysis. Assessment is conducted through essays, coursework, examination, presentations and a dissertation. Teaching is informed by a vibrant and supportive research environment that unites academics, postgraduates and visiting scholars around shared subject matter. “I chose History at Swansea as the course offers a great variation of topics and the modules are really interesting. They stretch from the ancient empires of China and India, to the Second World War. The expertise of the lecturers is second to none.” – Alistair Kirk. A year abroad enriches your study experience and boosts your career prospects. History graduates have advanced to careers in sectors such as education, heritage, business, media, politics and humanitarian services. Employers have included Mercedes Benz, English Heritage and St Fagans National History Museum.
