All the History staff are really nice and you can tell that they’re all passionate about History. All the lectures are really informative and I find that discussions in seminars tend to be good. You don’t have many contact hours, and you’re expected to do lots of reading independently, although I haven’t found it to be too much. I find that the History department are really good at promoting the different careers available for History graduates. read more
