It doesn’t look at strictly the classics, but involves media, cultural studies and other subjects I wouldn’t have learned about otherwise.’

History - What the students say

“I have enjoyed studying History tremendously! When I came to the University it was very friendly and pleasant, and the team were very approachable. All of the History course has stood out. It is so diverse and every module has had plus points. As a mature student, I have thought about possibly doing a Post 16/PGCE to teach in further education. I am also considering returning to work in customer services where my degree will be an enhancement to the skills I already have.”
