COURSE OVERVIEW

If you would like to study History across thousands of years, or choose modules covering the widest possible range of periods, Ancient History and History at Swansea is for you. Because of the long time span this degree scheme covers, you can also investigate how later periods have understood and built on what had come before them. Put the cultures you explore in deep context and think critically about identity and socio-cultural developments, as well as the actions of history-makers in many different contexts.

You’ll get the chance to consider connections and developments across centuries and millennia, and to analyse a great variety of historical material, from ancient objects in the Egypt Centre, our in-house museum, and historical sites to recent archive material. This course will empower you to grow in yourself and to develop important analytical and interpersonal skills.

Our career support services include:

• Employability workshops, employers’ talks, bespoke events and careers fairs
• Individual advice and guidance from professionally qualified Careers Advisers
• Help with finding jobs, internships, work placements and volunteering opportunities
