Discover History at Hull

students on bridge2 If you are interested in studying history across a wide range of topics and periods, in small groups with enthusiastic teachers, then the Department of History is the place for you. Our 30 members of staff are active historians working on everything from ancient Rome to modern Britain, who offer over 100 modules in which small group teaching and quality contact hours are central. Our range of choices means that you can build your own programme of study, ranging across periods, or concentrate on the history that is most interesting to you. We also support your learning, with our state of the art Virtual Learning Environment, through an 'applied history' stream run through the new Hull History Centre, and drawing on the resources of the Brynmor Jones Library. The coming year will see us continue to invest in new staff, in the refurbishment of our learning and teaching spaces, and in major projects like the £15 million redevelopment of the University Library. Employability and the practical application of history is supported through the use personal development activities, and through our Applied History module. So why not join us at one of our open days?

We are happy to receive applications for students from a range of schools and backgrounds. Though most of our applicants come to us within a year of finishing sixth form or college, we also welcome mature students and those returning to University after a stretch in the real world. We recognise the full range of pre-degree level qualifications, and where these are absent we consider students on the basis of submitted work and interview. We welcome the full range of students, including those with family responsibilities and those who wish to pursue courses part-time.
