Why are some aspects of the past celebrated and others removed or destroyed? What and who shapes our understanding of the past? How does the past inform our identities, politics, and sense of belonging today? This distinctive, exciting degree course gives you a framework for understanding the past's role in the contemporary world and the part that heritage plays in shaping our collective futures.

You will gain in-depth historical knowledge and understanding of a range of periods, with modules focusing on the social, political, and environmental history of Europe, Africa and North America. Through modules on heritage and museums, you will engage with topics such as heritage protection, museum collecting, heritage and identity, cultural politics, globalisation and decolonisation. Optional modules from other subjects give you the opportunity to build your knowledge, understanding and skills in complementary areas. Throughout the course, you will explore topical issues relating to nationalism, conflict, civic society, culture, race, and gender.
