Course Overview

Come and study our degree program in the unique historic city of Chester, bordering North Wales and situated in North West England to explore local-global connections from the Roman, Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern periods. In short, we offer ‘A Global History in One City’.

Work as a 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, digital apps, and public exhibitions.

Develop skills that set you up for a future career. Our dissertation students work with original material from local, national, and international archives to produce outstanding research projects. Our partnerships extend to other third-party sectors to give students the experience of heritage and education, thereby setting up students for future MA, PGCE, or graduate scheme pathways.

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.
