Overview
In this Joint Honours course you will develop your historical understanding while exploring some of the most thought-provoking aspects of contemporary culture and society.
History at Worcester offers you the opportunity to study the political, cultural and social history and introduces you to many of today’s debates surrounding approaches to historical study.
