History may be concerned with questions about the past, but the knowledge it reveals is relevant to how we think about ourselves and our place within society today.

The BA (Hons) History degree at Lincoln is distinctive in the breadth of topics that students can choose to study. These include British, European, Chinese, and American history, from the Roman Empire to the end of the 20th Century.

Home to a 1000-year-old cathedral, a medieval castle, and an original 1215 Magna Carta, Lincoln is a great city in which to study history. The programme makes extensive use of specialist local resources including Lincoln’s historic buildings, the Lincoln Cathedral archives, the Collection, and the Media Archive for Central England (MACE).
