History

Entry requirements

Applicants for this course will normally have achieved a UK 2.1 honours degree or overseas equivalent in history or a humanities-related subject.

If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.

We are able to consider 'non-standard' applicants who do not meet the standard academic criterion. In such cases, you will need to produce evidence of relevant and equivalent experience, and your suitability for the course.

The structure of the programme allows international students to attend on a Short-term Study Visa, and those in full-time employment, whether in the UK or abroad, to work and study at the same time.
