Your lecturers at Herts have won prizes for their work and even contribute to radio and television, both in the UK and abroad. You’ll study at a University that has contributed to ‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic,’ part of a British Library exhibition. You’ll learn about national as well as international history, from Europe to Africa and America. Our course focuses on the connection between past and present, linking people’s history and everyday lives. The history department offers an interactive and collaborative approach to studying. Your time in class will consist of some lectures, where you learn the theory that underpins the area of history you investigate. But your main mode of learning will be through interactive workshops and seminars, where you’ll do practical tasks and engage in group discussions. This way, you can learn from your lecturers as well as your course mates. You will develop your independent research and critical thinking skills and learn how to argue your points effectively.
