About this course

Explore past movements and people and how they have shaped the present with our expert-led History degree

Immerse yourself in the global histories of revolution, power, and people from the past to the present day with our BA History degree. You will study the rise and fall of states, the causes of wars and revolutions, and social and political movements.

You will interpret sources, explain how societies change and why this is important. Study with a supportive and stimulating department, and equip yourself to analyse the many challenges of today.

Hands-on learning

Our students tell us that St Mary’s is the perfect location to explore history at London’s many museums, archives and historic houses, such as:

  • the British Museum

  • the Imperial War Museum

  • Hampton Court

  • the London Docklands

  • the Palace of Westminster.

    As a student here, you’ll have easy access to be able to undertake your own first-hand research.

    A history programme led by experts and research

    Our curriculum is designed on the principle of research-led teaching by historians who are experts in their fields. Our student, Steph, explains that this has given her invaluable insights and learning experiences.

    Our department is placed 2nd for teaching quality in London by the Guardian University Guide 2021.

    We genuinely care about our students and will encourage you to think critically, which has positioned our university in the top 10 for student experience (Times Good University Guide 2024).

    Recently, one of our history lecturers, Prof Glenn Richardson, guested on the Not Just the Tudors podcast to discuss his biography of Cardinal Wolsey and his rise to and sudden fall from power.
