History Courses - Undergraduate

Overview

A tutor has a one-to-one discussion with a student.

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.

Facilities

A prime example of 1930s architecture, the Main Building has undergone extensive refurbishment to combine a traditional setting with modern facilities, including the £15m Student Hub.

The building includes lecture theatres, seminar and tutorial rooms, which are ideal for group discussions and one-to-one tuition, as well as IT resources and social learning spaces.

Open Days

A prospective student and her family consult a printed guide during an open day. If you are considering studying at Edge Hill University, the best way to gain an insight into the student experience is to discover our stunning campus for yourself by attending an open day.

You can tour the campus, including the halls of residence, with a student guide. There will also be opportunities to attend presentations and view subject facilities.

Alternatively, if you are unable to attend an open day, we offer a range of other events for prospective students, including monthly campus tours.
