Department of History
They are the 3rd best History department in the UK for world-leading research according to the Research Excellence Framework 2014. Our research is world-class, wide-ranging and innovative. But what really sets Sheffield apart is our passion for public engagement. Finding new ways for people to access historical research is vitally important to us.
You'll work with award-winning academics on projects outside the lecture room to bring history to life. From an online history blog, New Histories - run entirely by students - to WikiAmerica, the history of America all in one place. Our students are passionate about what they do and it shows. You can also learn the craft of the historian on our History Workshop module. You'll work closely with one of our academics on real-life research, giving you an insight into what historians actually do..
