- We also require three passes at GCSE grade C or above, which must include Mathematics and English Language, or an equivalent qualification, for example; a minimum of Level 2 Key Skills in Communication and Application of Number.

If English is not your first language we will require an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) with an overall score of 6.0 and at least 5.5 or higher in each component: reading, writing, listening and speaking. An alternative approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) can also be considered if the applicant's element scores are equivalent to those required for IELTS.

Studying History is studying humanity. As the philosopher R. G. Collingwood noted: 'History is for human self-knowledge... the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The values of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is.'
A rich knowledge of History sheds light on contemporary politics, ideology, culture – every facet of modern life.
With a degree in History you'll gain a deep knowledge of British, European and World histories, and develop excellent skills in analysis, communication, and research.
History is a very well-respected degree. You will graduate with the ability to research and analyse complex material, think critically about ideas and arguments, and communicate clearly.
These skills transfer to a wide range of sectors, including education, finance, law, politics and the Civil Service. Many graduates teach History in colleges and schools. Other graduates go on to work in museums and archives.
