HISTORY

Study a History degree that helps you understand how the past continues to shape the world we live in today. At Liverpool Hope University, you'll explore key events, ideas and people across different historical periods while developing the skills to question evidence, analyse sources and construct persuasive arguments. 

This History course encourages you to investigate a wide range of topics, from early modern societies to modern political, social and cultural history. You'll examine history from local, national and global perspectives, learning how historical events continue to influence contemporary society. 

You'll be taught by historians whose expertise spans diverse historical periods and themes. Small class sizes allow you to work closely with academic staff, take part in lively discussions and receive personalised support throughout your studies. 

Beyond lectures and seminars, you'll build practical skills through independent research, archival work and authentic assessments that prepare you for graduate employment. The course develops critical thinking, communication, digital literacy and research skills that are valued across many professions.
