BA (Hons) History

... United Kingdom
... University of Chester

Course Overview

History graduates from Chester have pursued a wide range of careers reflecting the excellent transferable skills offered by a History degree, including - amongst many others - careers in teaching, law, the civil service, publishing, business, IT, and research. History continues to be one of the most attractive degrees to employers and we work closely with our students and the Careers Service to help students develop a range of transferable skills.

You’ll have the opportunity to work as a professional historian and produce material for public consumption. During the second year of the degree, our students have worked directly with history and heritage organizations – ranging from BBC History Magazine to the National Trust – to produce walking tours, historic pamphlets, websites and apps, public exhibitions, and employability prospects.
