Summary

Keen to study history at degree level? History at Huddersfield is top in Yorkshire for Learning Opportunities, scoring 96%, based on experimental statistics from the National Student Survey 2023.

Studying history enables us to put ourselves and our societies into perspective, establishing connections between the events, ideas and people that built past and present worlds. Here in Huddersfield, you’ll develop your critical thinking and writing through the handling of primary sources and the material culture of the past, learning to become an independent researcher.

Nestled in the centre of historic Yorkshire, our course engages with both local heritage and international histories.It covers a range of eras, from the medieval and early-modern period to the modern world, and inspires you to make historical connections with contemporary global challenges.

Why study History BA(Hons)
We believe that students perform best in coursework and so there are no exams on our History course.Instead, we’ve carefully designed a first-year programme to give you strong foundations in the handling of sources, texts and artefacts from the medieval, early modern and modern period.You will then hone your skills and knowledge in a series of options in year two and three, including an independently supervised project and gain valuablework experience on our placement module, which you can complete alongside your studies or as a five-week block. An optional year-long placement, after the second year could also boost your graduate employment prospects.

During your studies, we encourage you to get creative and apply your historical learning to a range of outputs: among other things, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with history in a variety of ways including analysing a museum exhibition or working on your own piece of oral history. You’ll also benefit from behind-the-scenes access to our innovative and award-winning archive at  Heritage Quay and to the unique collections at the Holocaust Centre North.

You could join the student History Society, too, and organise trips, debates and social events to enhance your studies before heading out into the world and into your first role.

Our course gives you a range of skills, including good communication and analytical skills, independence and team working, and problem solving. You will also develop skills in management, research, and planning.

Following your studies, you may wish to head into post-university employment or further your education in, for example, modern history, ancient history, medieval history, British history, or another related area.
