**Course overview**
- On our Foundation Entry degree in History you’ll discover how to become a skilled historian, combining the study of British and international history across a broad timespan - from the early modern to the contemporary.
- Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree.
- You’ll approach history from many different directions. The themes covered in our teaching include: cultural history, economic and social history, gender history, international history, and political history.
- You’ll learn to analyse evidence, formulate questions and put forward your own arguments and interpretations, as you become a historian yourself.
**Why study with us**
- History is rated in the top 20 in the UK for Academic Support - National Student Survey (NSS) 2020.
- You’ll be able to take on a work placement with host organisations such as the Lancashire Archives and the People’s History Museum.
- Develop your own Community History Project , working to a project brief devised by a real client.
