The History BA at King's covers an extraordinary breadth of periods and places- from Romans and Barbarians to modern China. Studying in London surrounded by world-class lecturers, outstanding museums and resources, you will explore topics you've covered at school as well as many that you haven't, such as the history of Contemporary Africa or sexuality and gender in Modern Britain. Students also have the option to study abroad at one of our partner institutions for the second semester of the second year.
“What I enjoy most about my course is the worldly breadth of information and exposure we receive as King's students. Not only does our education span across any thinkable geographical region, but we are gifted with an immersive international staff and student body- all concentrated in the heart of London.”
