Studying history provides key transferable graduate skills that are valued highly by employers. It’s the perfect training in how to research, interpret, evaluate and communicate information. Through our innovative modules, you will develop high-level skills in analysis, critical thinking, written, verbal and digital communication, self-management and teamwork. Our history degree equips you for graduate careers in a variety of sectors. Our history graduates have progressed on to careers in all levels of teaching, heritage, museums and archives, the civil service, the legal profession, the voluntary sector, politics, journalism and the media, banking and management. Others have continued their studies and research through postgraduate qualifications in a wide range of career paths such as law, international relations, teaching, human resources, museum and heritage management, performing arts, broadcasting, accounting and, of course, history. You could also consider progressing on to postgraduate research with a Masters by Research or PhD.

We know that employability matters to you, so there’s a strong focus on developing your graduate attributes throughout your degree. The ‘Reflection on Learning in the Workplace’ module in year 2 provides you with ‘hands on’ experience of applying your history skills through either one of our commissioned history projects or through a placement related to your career interests.
