Course summary

4th in the UK for our research impact in History in REF 2021 (Times Higher Education) =19th in the UK for History (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024) About the course History doesn’t just teach you about the past. At Sussex, we’re curious to understand how we got to where we are today and where we’re heading in the future. In the School of Media, Arts and Humanities, you’ll become part of a friendly community of students and expert academics. During your degree, you:

  • explore topics such as legacies of empire, popular culture and social justice struggles across the world
  • study global history from the 16th century onwards, covering the Middle East, Europe, Britain, America and Asia
  • find your area of historical expertise by choosing from a wide range of specialist options taught by experts in the field
  • take electives from other subjects – from business to law and modern languages – to open your mind to other disciplines and tailor your degree to your interests.
