Course Overview

History is an inspirational, dynamic, relevant subject. The breadth of topics offered in our degree span the Neolithic period right up to the more recent past. Covering aspects of the history of Wales, Britain, Europe and the wider world, you will build knowledge in political, social and cultural themes. Valued by employers, the practical and transferable skills gained will prepare you for many possible careers, e.g. civil service, the heritage sector, the media, or law.

This course aims to develop your knowledge and understanding of a wide range of human history. It encourages you to take an analytical approach to the past, so that you can understand and contribute to historical controversies, and can understand ways in which the past is at least partly constructed in the present. It, therefore, hopes to train you intellectually so you can explain the relevance of the past in the present, understand the problems of interpreting written and other evidence, and gain skills of research, analysis, problem-solving, construction of argument and communication.

History is one of the most inspiring, dynamic and relevant subjects that can be studied at the degree level, and so it is no surprise that History remains one of the most popular degree subjects in the UK. It has an established range of concerns, but it is always expanding and changing as it responds to new themes or ideas raised by other disciplines. It is also a very practical subject, and during your degree, you will develop various transferable skills that employers value highly. Surveys consistently indicate that History graduates obtain employment more rapidly than graduates in many apparently more 'vocational' subjects.
