History is not a plain narrative of events, it is an attempt to discover how and why our own world emerged. Studying undergraduate History is an exciting chance to investigate global unfamiliar territory and to question some of the myths, preconceptions and prejudices that surround the subject. We offer a wide choice of specialist undergraduate courses taught by academic staff world-renowned for their teaching and research. The size and quality of the History Department enables us to offer you a wide range of options to study across the medieval, early modern and modern periods, and over a vast geographical span. Historians in other University Departments expand the range of modules on offer, notably in the fields of Byzantine and African history, which broaden your learning opportunities even further. Much of your first year at university will consist of the foundational study of core subjects. Choice increases as your studies progress and we encourage you to tailor your studies to suit your own historical interests. **Why study this course?** *1st in the UK * Times Higher Education ranked the Department of History 1st in the country for its performance in the latest Research Excellence Framework exercise **Present Day Application** - We believe in history as a practical and engaged endeavour that speaks to questions of social inequality, community belonging and even climate change.
