Course Summary

Studying the human past helps you gain a better understanding of why the world is as it is and a greater appreciation of your place in it. Studying History helps you to acquire the skills that employers value, such as critical thinking, teamwork, communication skills, information handling and original thinking. Come and study our degree programme in the unique historic city of Chester, bordering North Wales and situated in North West England to explore local-global connections from the Roman, Medieval, Early Modern and Modern periods. In short, we offer ‘A Global History in One City’. Work as a historian and produce material for public consumption. During the second year of the degree, our students have worked directly with history and heritage organisations – ranging from BBC History Magazine to the National Trust – to produce walking tours, historic pamphlets, digital apps and public exhibitions. Develop skills that set you up for a future career. Our dissertation students work with original material from local, national and international archives to produce outstanding research projects. Our partnerships extend to other third-party sectors to give students experience of heritage and education, thereby setting up students for future MA, PGCE or graduate scheme pathways.
