Many career doors are opened with a history degree in education, the military (usually as an officer), police services, NHS, government, the arts, management and politics. A few have become historians.
History at Teesside allows you to explore various historical themes and periods, such as modern and contemporary European history, the ancient world, social and cultural history, early modern history and modern Irish history. Choose topics along a varied route that match or spark your interests.
You develop an understanding of the nature of historical enquiry, including the relationships between sources, theory and interpretation. You acquire essential transferable skills, including distinctive critical thinking and verbal and written communication – all highly valued by employers.
A typical offer is 32-64 tariff points and above from at least two A levels, T level or equivalent, including GCSE English and maths at grade 4 (grade C) or equivalent.
