History

History is vital to understanding the world around us. What is gender, race, class, religion, the state, empire, capitalism? What is the USA, China, the United Kingdom, Ireland? What is NATO and the EU? Our historians explain the modern world by reaching back to the Roman empire, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Reformation and the great modern revolutions across all of Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. From first year, students are entrusted to make choices and range widely across all these histories to understand where we have come from. From the beginning of your degree, you will be taught in small groups by expert historians.
