History at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ provides a stimulating and supportive environment for you to get the most out of your History degree. We welcome 6-7 undergraduate students in History each year, meaning we have around 20 undergraduates in the College at any one time. We have an active student-run History Society, which provides a forum for us to get together regularly to enjoy activities such as listening to invited speakers, dining together, or going on small field trips to local sites.
