Presentación

Research underpins much of our teaching, and we encourage you into a community of scholars, through teaching which will enthuse and inspire you. Assessments include essays and exams, presentations, book reviews, portfolio preparation and mini-projects. You can also take a credit-bearing internship in an archive, library or museum. Previous interns have had placements in the Imperial War Museum, the House of Lords Record Office and many other London institutions.

Objetivos

History remains among the most fascinating and best-loved of the arts and social science disciplines, and this is an exceptional degree which makes the most of our unique West End location. The course is modern and UK focused, but as Britain was shaped by her relationship with Europe, the empire and the wider world, there are many opportunities to study European, American and imperial history as well. A distinctive element of the degree is its focus on the extraordinary history of London.

You´ll learn inside and outside the classroom, on stimulating modules in political, diplomatic, military and social history, many of which are unique to Westminster. You´ll explore the streets of the capital, learn how to conduct your own research in London´s unique archives, and graduate as a well-trained and experienced historian, ready to launch yourself into the world of work – in careers such as the media, education and the Civil Service – research or further study
