Our BA History with Foundation course offers insights into the variety of human experience through the ages, while enabling you to develop core academic skills.

This four-year programme includes a foundation year that leads directly into the three-year course. It provides an excellent route to a degree in history if you do not have the typical entry requirements. Following the successful completion of the Foundation Year, you may be eligible to join one of our many joint degree programmes (unless the partner degree has specific requirements).

Discover a thousand years of world history, spanning Britain, Europe, Africa, America, the Middle East and Asia. Immerse yourself in subjects such as crusading, totalitarianism, witchcraft, gender and sexuality, race and colonialism.

Your history degree can open the door to a number of professions. Our graduates have found employment in a variety of sectors, including publishing, museums and heritage, law, teaching, accountancy and banking, and social care.
