SELECTION PROCEDURE (Department of History)
We scrutinise all applications carefully, paying particular attention to academic record and the personal statement. We look for not only for academic excellence, but also for evidence of initiative, energy, an engaged interest in the past and its significance, and an aptitude for independent critical thought and historical argument. We invite promising mature or non-traditional student applicants to an interview, while other successful applicants are invited to a post-offer open day, usually between January and March. We take into account the circumstances students from different backgrounds have had to confront in order to come to university. Roughly 5 per cent of our students are mature students, and about 10 per cent are from outside the UK.KEY FACTS
