See the world differently
International students at York are part of a world-class department whose research interests range from the fall of Rome to the present, from Britain, Europe and Russia, to the Americas, Iran, Hong Kong, India and Africa. Our forty full-time members of faculty, all publishing historians, work closely with students, teaching modules in their own areas of specialism which cover every inhabited continent.
Our history degrees are distinctive in their breadth of coverage and the choice students have in pursuing their own interests. You can tailor your degree programme with some students opting to range widely across period, geography and subject whilst others chart their own course, specialising, for example, in British, global, contemporary or medieval history.
