This wide ranging and stimulating degree will give you the opportunity to connect with the past while developing the skills that will define your future. Here you can study the history of Britain, Europe, America, and beyond, gaining global perspectives on stories both familiar and as yet undiscovered.
During the degree you can choose a wide range of subjects that match your interests and cover everything from Witchcraft, the Crusades, and the court of Henry VIII all the way to the Second World War, the Civil Rights Movement, and Globalization, with much more to discover.

The standard entry requirement for this programme is IELTS 6.0 with no element lower than 5.5.
However, you can begin your 3-year degree programme with IELTS 5.5.
Our International Route allows you to take 4 credit-bearing modules in International English Studies (IES) as part of your first year studies. This means you study 4 modules in your chosen subject and 4 in International English. The IES Modules allow you to focus on personal language development and your use of English as an academic language. Then, at the end of your first year, you’ll have all the necessary language skills to transfer to full study of your main subject.
If you have an IELTS score under 5.5 you can still begin a 3-year degree programme with us. In this case we provide a 5 or 10 week intensive Presessional Programme in English language and academic skills. For the 10 week Programme you’ll need IELTS 4.5, and IELTS 5.0 for the 5 week Programme.
Further details of our international entry requirements can be found on our website.
