History
Key Information
Why study this course?

Course type

At Keele, you’ll study the way humans have always tried to organise
their lives – physically and conceptually, individually and together.
Such an appreciation of the past is essential to understanding where
we are today and how we’re attempting to shape the future, and even
societies in the very distant past can be highly relevant. You’ll learn
the sk ills of the historian as you deepen your understanding of eras,
continents and cultures from political, social and religious perspectives.
You’ll develop an understanding of different approaches to history
and the range of skills and methods used in its pursuit.
