Course summary


Studying history keeps your career options open. You could go on to be a lawyer, journalist, archaeologist, teacher, museum curator or anything in between.

You’ll benefit from the resources of an ancient Cathedral city that’s steeped in history. At Worcester, you’ll get the chance to work with local museums, galleries and the Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service, which is based in the University library.Study for a history degree at Worcester and you can learn history as it's being written. Your lecturers will be the authors of some of the books you're using – and you'll even get the chance to contribute to their research.You’ll benefit from a range of modules that address contemporary themes. From gender and sexuality in the early modern period through to the 1970s, to the significance of race and ethnicity to imperialism, slavery, genocide, national identity and racism. You’ll learn about the global south through the histories of Africa, South Asia, and East Asia, and develop your understanding of poverty and social justice in modules on British, European and world history. You’ll deepen your knowledge of war and conflict as well as the peace settlements and anti-war movements that these produced.And, as well as benefiting from the latest thinking, you can learn through a work placement – perhaps in archives, museums, local community groups, schools, or a National Trust property. So you understand the relevance of history to our culture and working life.Throughout your history degree, you'll learn in small, informal groups. You'll get a lot of individual support in a very friendly atmosphere.


Work experience

During your time at Worcester you’ll have the opportunity to take part in subject-related work experience and volunteering activities. In your second year you can choose to take a work experience module, and volunteering opportunities with local and regional historical organisations are regularly publicised to all history students.
