Study ancient history and history to learn about global perspectives on ancient, medieval and modern history. You'll be based in a thriving research environment at Southampton, and spend your third year abroad at a partner university. This degree will give you a solid foundation for further study, or for a career in teaching, media, museums or galleries. You'll look at the different ways historians have approached the past, and study different periods in history. You'll cover the development of historical debates, ways of imagining the past, and topics ranging from ancient history to the war on terror. Study ancient history and history abroad when you spend your third year at a university in Europe, the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea or Australia. As part of this degree you can: choose from over 100 modules, leading from experts in the ancient world and history (archaeology, ancient and modern languages and literatures, and film), learn Latin and Ancient Greek, access document collections, including the Wellington, Palmerston and Mountbatten papers, and the Parkes archive, one of the largest Jewish documentation centres in Europe.
