'The lecturers bring the subject to life. When I studied Jack the Ripper in a module on Victorian Britain, we actually went to a surgical room in London to see how the Victorians would have investigated the murders.'

Brooke Huxter, BA History

You'll have the freedom to explore your subject and tailor your studies to the times and themes you find most fascinating. You discover topics from the Crusades to the Cold War, and explore the challenges facing the world today, from from terrorism to the impact of the pandemic on politics, and political polarisation.
