Guest speakers
We regularly invite guest speakers who are experts in their fields to come and talk to our students, giving you a different perspective to what you’re learning in the classroom. You’ll benefit from hearing their first-hand experiences and seeing how what you learn is applied in the real world.
On-campus opportunities
As a History student you will benefit from having access to the Special Collections in the Library and the 91影视Archives in the Old School House. History academics actively encourage students to visit these in their first and second year so that they are familiar with how to use these resources when it comes to researching and writing their dissertation. This helps you gain invaluable skills in recovering and interpreting historical evidence, formulating arguments and developing your own historical perspectives.
History and our proximity to central London
Locally you’ll benefit from a variety of trips such as visiting a local graveyard where you will discover a headstone from the holocaust, and a visit to the Battle of Britain Bunker will be applied to your studies. Being close to central London, you will have access world-class museums, collections and the renowned British Library to help with your academic studies.
