The best things about History:
"The flexibility. In the first year I wasn't tied down by lots of lab work like my scientist friends. This allowed me to work when I chose meaning I could play sport more, drink more and generally have a better first year."
Tom, at The University of York - Read more
"The tutorials are really interesting. I have had especially good tutors for ancient history and it is really fun to have such in depth conversations with people who are so knowledgeable. "
Sophie, at Oxford University - Read more
"Freedom to work at the times that suits you which allows for extra curricular activities and part time jobs."
Jamie, at University of Leeds - Read more
"I love the modules available and the amount of support I have received from the History Department. After being in three different departments for the past year, I can safely say that the History Department has been, by far, the most helpful one -the staff are much more willing to listen and help the students as much as they can."

"The flexibility with time and the huge amount of choice."
Bobby, at University of Cambridge - Read more
"The knowledge that by going to Cambridge to study History I am seen as in quite an elite group of students and am attractive to employers. More specifically, I like the freedom of choice to study almost any period in history that I want to - from ancient to modern - and the ability to focus on social history topics."

"I wish there were more modules on ancient history from which to choose."
Kathryn, at Lancaster University - Read more
"The difficulty to get books or articles due to the large number of people doing the course."
Jamie, at University of Leeds - Read more
"I have started to get tired of spending so long in the library. I do feel like I get a lot of our my course but sometimes I'd like to have more free time. "
Sophie, at Oxford University - Read more
