Course summary
Overview
Preparing for your future by understanding the past.
Summary
History at Ulster will develop a wide range of written, verbal, and analytical skills through the study of the historical processes that have shaped modern society. You will explore topics such as Film and the Vietnam War, Witchcraft and Magic, the Russian Revolution, United States’ Foreign Policy and many more.
We are the highest ranked History course in Northern Ireland and amongst the highest ranked in the UK for student satisfaction meaning you will study with leading historians who are nationally recognised for the quality of their teaching.
We present History in unique and exciting ways. You will learn mainly in interactive workshops rather than in lectures and seminars. You will create podcasts and digital presentations, design websites, organise conferences and produce research portfolios.
Our recent graduates are in high demand from employers who recognise the fundamental skills of writing and presentation, research and time management, critical thinking and independence, that our History degree provides. If you have a passion for knowledge, are a critical thinker and want to better understand the past and its influence on the present and the future then this course is for you.
Career options
- History at Ulster does not confine you to one career path. Our course develops talents which are transferrable across a variety of professions and industries.
- You will enhance your general knowledge and hone your writing and digital presentation skills, learn how to research and assess material, and present evidence-based, fact-checked arguments.
- You will develop excellent time management skills, learn how to think critically and reach logical conclusions. You will be able to work independently and as part of a team.
- These skills are valued by employers in all businesses and professions.
- Our recent graduates are working in media, education, civil service, retail, banking and finance, the heritage sector, and in law.
- Others have gone on to postgraduate study: some with our own Masters in History programme and others in law, journalism, conflict studies, teaching, and politics at numerous universities including King’s College, London; University College, London; University of Liverpool; University of Pennsylvania.
