Overview
Focusing on modern history across the globe, our History degrees place contemporary society into perspective by highlighting a period of discovery, change and conflict that continues to shape and inform the present day.
Principally exploring the history of Britain, Europe, the USA and Asia, you will examine a range of political systems, cultures and geographical locations from the late eighteenth to the early twenty-first centuries, with opportunities to specialise in topics from European migration to US foreign policy.
A student-centred culture and world-leading research (REF 2014) underpin the learning experience, with the option to study History as a Single Honours degree or in combination with Education, English Literature or Politics.

Open Days and Virtual Events
If you are considering studying at Edge Hill University, the best way we usually recommend to gain an insight into the student experience is by attending an open day.
Our November 2020 open day is going virtual. We will ensure that you can still discover everything that Edge Hill University has to offer and get answers to all of your questions. You will be able to find out more about history and the University through a series of online activities.
If you would like to see our stunning campus for yourself, private campus tours, led by a student guide, are also available on a variety of dates. Pre-booking is essential.
