History, heritage and politics

Students on: History and Heritage

Ever wondered what it's like to study History and Heritage subjects at university?

Perhaps you want to know what the courses are really like, how you'll get on with research, and what kind of topics you'll study?

We asked our students these questions and more in this video.

World class research

Our History and Heritage Research Centre harnesses the diverse interests and specialisms of our staff to engage in world-leading teaching, research, and public engagement. 

Curious about getting involved? You can explore our research interests, or our current offer of postgraduate courses on our centre pages.  

Explore your options

Our combined degree courses means you don’t have to limit yourself to one programme if two tempt you.

You could pair History with a range of subjects - from Creative Writing to English Literature, or our new Politics combined offer. 

Open days and events

Study your chosen subject amidst the grounds of a historic country house estate, complete with Capability Brown designed vistas and a medieval castle.

Come visit us on one of our Open Days, and see what the fuss is all about. 

Exciting projects

Explore our Curious Corners iPad app - created by a group of students on our heritage, humanities, and graphic communication courses, in partnership with No.1 Royal Crescent.

Examine historic objects from the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution's (BRLSI) archival collection, which brings to life the Crescent's 'Cabinet of Curiosities'.
