Life at History

As a student with us you will become an important part of our department and you will be helped to settle in during the Freshers' week events. We offer a high number of successful programmes and attract a large number of students each year.  In turn this offers an excellent opportunity to make many new friends and meet new people. You will be encouraged to participate in social evenings, seminars and events as you widen your social and academic community, both within your subject area and the School.

There is a healthy student community which is a vital part of the School and during your time with us, you will be able to take part in the Staff/Student Committees within each subject area and provide the department with valuable feedback.

You will be able to attend lectures, seminars and visits throughout the year, which are arranged to engage you with your colleagues, friends and staff within the department. The Resources you have available to you, that work alongside the academic environment of the School, are the Visual Resources Centre, Ure Museum, Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) and a Resources Room within each subject area; with the addition of dedicated teaching staff and friendly support staff, who are here to guide you during your time here at the University.
