The course sits within our Faculty of Media & Communication which means that, as well as studying history in the traditional sense, you will be using newspapers, on-line sites, sound recordings, television and film as a way of exploring a broad range of topics. Public history is also an important aspect of the course and throughout your degree you will work with a range of outside agencies such as museums, archives and heritage organisations.ÊÊ

To complement your studies, youÕll have the opportunity to put theory into practice with a work placement: either four-weeks, if you are studying a three-year degree, or 30-weeks, if completing a four-year course. Not only will this add valuable experience to your CV, but it will help you to use the transferable skills you have already learned and ultimately improve your career options once you graduate.

You will be joining an active history community which combines both the social and the scholarly, with a lively History Society and membership of our internationally renowned Centre for Media History.ÊÊ
