Investigate the mysteries of the past. Historians are detectives, picking up a loose thread in the social fabric and unraveling it to weave a new narrative through time. History is more than mere facts; it is a dynamic discipline built on analysis, debate and interpretation. When you study history, you develop a cultural vocabulary that examines humanity through events, culture and context. Our modern multi-media facilities bring history to life through images and sound recordings. Our passionate faculty specialize in areas that reflect the world’s diversity. Whether your heart lies in modern Africa, medieval England or ancient China, you will have the opportunity to study the historical periods and geographical locations that capture your attention. Complement your studies with thematic courses such as film in history, gender, the history of peace and war or environmental history. After graduation, you will be prepared for any career that demands critical thinking, research and writing skills.

Graduates leave with indispensable skills in communication, research and critical thinking, and are equally ready for graduate studies or careers in education, law, journalism, publishing, business, public service and museums and archives.
