Course Overview

Alongside a small number of core modules, you can pick and choose from a wide range of stimulating options that cover a rich tapestry of history. In doing so, you will be able to study a mix of periods and regions, from medieval Europe to contemporary America. Our curriculum provides a historical perspective on present-day challenges and concerns, including environmental change, global connectivity, gender equality, war and conflict, and the power of media and culture. Northumbria Universitys breadth of expertise has helped us to be ranked 23rd of UK institutions for History (Guardian University Guide, 2021). Our staff members make innovative use of media, including film, music, and digital technology. History at Northumbria means much more than seminars and lectures: joint knowledge creation, place-based learning, and public engagement are embedded in our curriculum which includes group projects, work placements, excursions, and student-led conferences. The undergraduate course deliberately teaches transferable skills, with options for a work placement as well as a period of study abroad. The first year emphasizes the acquisition of research and communication skills, the second employability and project management, and the third independent learning on a research project of your choice. A wide range of option modules is offered on this course. To ensure the quality of the student learning experience, some modules are subject to minimum and maximum student numbers. Staff is dedicated to supporting their students and they do so through our Guidance Tutor system, one-to-one essay tutorials, and dissertation workshops.
