History, BA (Hons) History, BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad History, BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry History, BA (Hons) with a Foundation Year
You will enjoy the flexibility of being able to study a range of historical periods and themes across Britain, Europe, and America, exploring the human condition from the Middle Ages to the present. You will gain a grounding in the approaches used by historians to understand and explain different aspects of the past and, as your studies progress, you will be able to focus more on the centuries, cultures and kinds of historical change that interest you most. Topics that can be explored include politics, gender, heritage, medicine, health and disability, and war and peace.
VT17 TV71 VT1I
American Studies and History, BA (Hons) American Studies and History, BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad American Studies and History, BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry
Explore the culture, history and politics of the United States, from colonization to the present, alongside British, European and world history. Shape this multidisciplinary degree to your own interests around a wide variety of topics including American music and literature; film and television; and race and the politics of identity. You can also take up the opportunity to study for a semester in the United States or you can extend your degree with a Year Abroad or Year in Industry.
V116 VV20 VV21
Ancient and Medieval History, BA (Hons) Ancient and Medieval History, BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad Ancient and Medieval History, BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry
Ancient and Medieval History allows you to study the ancient cultures of Greece, Rome, and the Near East, alongside the societies of Medieval Britain and Europe which they helped to shape. Our modules allow you to explore topics such as Roman Britain, the legacies of the Roman Empire, the development and spread of Christianity and Islam in the early Middle Ages, and the Crusades. Themes that can be explored across the ancient and medieval periods include gender, the representation of ruling elites, trade and economics.
QV31 QV3C QV3I
English Literature and History, BA (Hons) English Literature and History, BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad English Literature and History, BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry
Close reading of texts and consideration of questions of genre, style, authorship, and audience are fundamental to the study of both history and literature. This course allows you to combine exploration of past societies, from medieval times to the end of the twentieth century, with critical analysis of the literatures they produced.
RV11 RV21 RV41
French and History, BA (Hons) German and History, BA (Hons) History and Spanish, BA (Hons)
Studying a language builds the in-demand skills of interpretation, analysis, and expression, while also providing a shortcut to understanding other countries and cultures. Studying a language alongside history expands the range of sources that can be used to explore the past, opening avenues of enquiry that are closed to other students. Or you can choose to keep your language learning and study of history separate, by selecting from our wide range of modules on Britain from the early Middle Ages and America since colonial times.
LV21 VL1F
History and Politics, BA (Hons) History and Politics, BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad
History is past politics, and politics present history - or so it used to be claimed. Historians now consider many different aspects of the past, beyond the political. But studying politics together with history remains one of the most popular ways to benefit from combining distinct but complementary subjects. Common themes that can be explored through the two disciplines include the history of political thought, the development and exercise of democracy, identity politics, movements for social justice, conflict, and the role of successive superpowers (Britain, America) in shaping the world.
LV2C LV2D LV2F
International Relations and History, BA (Hons) International Relations and History, BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad International Relations and History, BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry
Globalisation, human rights, international development, humanitarianism, diplomacy, conflict resolution and security - these are all aspects of the subject of international relations, focused on the recent past and the present. But many of these topics have a long history, reaching far back into the past.
By combining history with international relations, these programmes can help you develop a deeper historical perspective on the pressing concerns of the present.
V150 V152 V15I V151
Medieval Studies, BA (Hons) Medieval Studies, BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad Medieval Studies, BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry Medieval Studies, BA (Hons) with a Foundation Year
The Middle Ages can be thought to belong to the distant past, and yet at the same time they seem ever present in popular culture and in the construction of many contemporary national identities.
Pursuing a degree in medieval studies allows you to explore the Middle Ages and their enduring relevance to the present through multiple disciplines: history and heritage, literature, and languages.
QV5C QV50 QV5I
History and Welsh (a Pathway for First Language Students), BA (Hons) History and Welsh (a Pathway for First Language Students), BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad History and Welsh (a Pathway for First Language Students), BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry
While some History modules are available partly or wholly through the medium of Welsh, studying History and Welsh together can give you an enormous advantage in the jobs market in Wales. Many of the questions which scholars of Welsh language and culture grapple with are also key questions for historians: where does the idea of nationhood come from; what factors drive an individual’s sense of identity; how are ideas transmitted down the generations? Pursuing this degree will allow you to develop your historical skills in both languages and enhance your career prospects.
QV51 QV52 QV53
History and Welsh (a Pathway for Second Language Students), BA (Hons) History and Welsh (a Pathway for Second Language Students), BA (Hons) with a Year Abroad History and Welsh (a Pathway for Second Language Students), BA (Hons) with a Year in Industry
Studying History together with Welsh is also possible if Welsh is your second language. You will be able to choose from the whole range of modules offered in History, while also learning about Welsh language rights, multiculturalism, and Welsh language and literature through the centuries. With use of the Welsh language not confined to the study of Wales, you’ll develop as a historian whilst building your communication skills to a professional standard.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Community : There’s always plenty going on within our community. During Welcome Week, you’ll have opportunities to make connections and socialise with people on your course. At our social events, students have enjoyed interacting with exotic animals, learning about Welsh culture, dancing the night away at our School Balls, and getting involved in craft sessions, games nights, sports, and more!
Student Voice: Partnership summarises our vision for how to work with all students to improve their experience and help them to get the most out of their time at University; the Student Representative System is a key part of this. As a Student Rep, you stand in elections to represent your cohort and work with staff across the School to provide constructive feedback and make change happen. Learning Community: As a Swansea University student, you’re joining a rich and diverse learning community. We aim to provide opportunities that will not only enhance understanding of your own subject area, but also make connections with and explore other subjects. As part of this, we’ve hosted integrated research seminar series, student-led research evenings and subject taster sessions. We also promote the various ways that students can take part in and conduct their own research. Taking Care of Yourself : Taking care of yourself is of paramount importance and we’re always looking to develop initiatives to target student wellbeing holistically. Throughout the year, we send themed communications that direct students to support and resources at the time they most need it. We run a range of events to help students take time out and relax, such as ‘Grab and Go’ Breakfasts during exam periods and regular coffee mornings. We also run proactive sessions like Self-Resilience and Exam Success Workshops to help students be as prepared as possible leading into more intense and busy periods of the year.

YEAR ABROAD Studying abroad for a year is an opportunity to experience new cultures, meet people from around the world and develop a global mindset in preparation for your future career. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has a number of international partner institutions where students can study for a full academic year. Destinations may include the North Americas, Europe or East and South East Asia.
Our Year Abroad degrees are four-year degree programmes, where your third year is spent studying abroad. During your year abroad, you will pay a reduced tuition
fee of 15% of the standard Swansea University fees and no tuition fees are payable to the host university. Funding opportunities are also available from the Go Global team. Please note, enrolment on a programme with a year abroad does not guarantee you a year abroad placement. In the event you do not secure a placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a year abroad. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DOING A YEAR ABROAD? Employers value graduates with international experience. Being able to adapt to new surroundings and learning important life skills while studying abroad could put you ahead of the competition when you graduate. Developing cultural awareness Independence Language development Preparation for international work Professional and personal development Studying abroad is a valuable addition to your CV Studying in a location known as a leading hub in your field of interest
I chose American Studies and History because the course at Swansea seemed tailor made for me, with modules covering the themes and historical time periods that I was most interested in. Now I’m here I’ve also discovered new topics that I didn’t even know I’d enjoy learning. The student experience has been incredible. I’ve made many new friends and have got to know my tutors well too. One of the best things about my university experience so far has been the people! I’d absolutely recommend the course because there’s just so much to enjoy and such variety in topics to choose from.

YEAR IN INDUSTRY
A Year in Industry is an opportunity to spend a year in employment during your studies, and is available to all undergraduate students studying within the School. It will provide you with invaluable experience in the real working world and will help you develop a range of skills which will make you an attractive candidate for jobs after graduating. There are countless benefits to completing a year in industry; and we’re proud that we can offer placement opportunities as part of all our undergraduate courses. Our Year in Industry degrees are four-year degree programmes, where your third year is
spent working in industry. The 12-month placement is a credit-bearing (worth 120 credits), assessed part of a four-year degree programme. This means that your performance on the assessment and completion of the placement will have an impact on your final degree classification, just as a year of taught modules would.
OUR EMPLOYER LINKS INCLUDE Although securing a placement is the responsibility of the student, we work with a number of organisations who provide a range of placement opportunities. If you are unable to secure a placement by the end of the second year of your studies you will transfer onto the equivalent degree programme.
I really enjoyed the variety of modules on my course; for example, I was able to study across a range of topics from Terrorism in America to the Renaissance Era. My lecturers were really engaging and enabled students to enjoy their subjects as much as they do. There are a range of extracurricular opportunities offered by the university and I was able to take up two internships during my time at Swansea. I am grateful for the internships that Swansea University provided me. They have helped me to secure my current role with Public Health Wales on the NHS General Management Graduate Programme.

After visiting Swansea University on an open day, seeing the campus and unique beach location, course offerings and specific autism support then I decided it was the place for me! I completed a Geography and History, BA (joint honours) with first class honours before undertaking a Modern History MA. I felt an acceptance and belonging across the university from the lecturers, friends, the autism support services and through the great societies on offer. I finished my master’s degree with a distinction!

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
I was over the moon with the quality of the facilities on my history degree course, in particular the library. From the collection of books to the Richard Burton Archives, as a historian this was so exciting for me. I could choose very varied and diverse modules from the Roman Empire to a work placement, which was impressive. The University overall just felt like home, and I knew I would achieve great things at Swansea.
ALYS ADEY History, BA (Hons)
History is based on the Singleton Campus, which also has a lovely, homely feel. I can undertake some of my history modules in Welsh language. I have especially enjoyed learning about the Renaissance and the art from this period. Studying part of the course through the medium of Welsh has helped me to gain additional confidence in the Welsh Language. I’ve now developed skills, such as making oral presentations to the class, which will help prepare me for a future career where I have to speak and carry myself confidently.
RHIANNON PIGGON History, BA (Hons)
RESEARCH
The work of Swansea historians covers a wide range of periods and places: from the early Middle Ages to the present day, and from Britain and Europe to Asia and the Americas. We study the past and its enduring significance through a variety of approaches - cultural and intellectual, social and economic, legal and medical, political and military – and apply our insights to contemporary issues such as medical care, heritage preservation and interpretation, history education in schools, national identities, disability, and mental health. RESEARCH PROJECTS AND PARTNERSHIPS Swansea historians work with external partners and funders to generate nationally and internationally significant academic research, and research with internationally significant impact. Our external partners include museums and other kinds of heritage organisations, local government, the private sector, and academic societies and educational institutions. Examples of current projects in which we are partners include Envisioning Margam Castle, which will use virtual reality to interpret one of Wales’ foremost heritage assets, and Beyond Borders: The Second World War, National Identities and Empire in the UK, which considers concepts of ‘Britishness’ across the four nations of the United Kingdom and will generate new resources for schools in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum. Students have opportunities to participate in research through our History Work Placement module and paid internships.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Dr Michael Bresalier recently published Modern Flu: British Medical Science and the Viralisation of Influenza, 1890-1950 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023), which traces the history of the discovery of the human influenza virus and the ways in which this triggered a series of transformations in medicine and public health. He is part of a team that has been awarded £2.8 million by the Wellcome Trust to study injustices in healthcare provision over the next six years. Dr. Imogen Dobie has just joined the Swansea history team from Oxford University, where she completed her doctorate in December 2023. Her area of expertise is a highly topical one: the work of humanitarian organisations in relation to refugee and migrant sea-crossings. Her article ‘Rocking the Boat: Maritime Rescue and the Professionalization of Relief, 1978-82’, was published in European Review of History in 2022. Dr Tomás Irish ’s most recent book, Feeding the Mind: Humanitarianism and the Reconstruction of European Intellectual Life, 1919-1939 (Cambridge University Press, 2023), examines how European intellectual life was rebuilt after the cataclysm of the First World War. It considers why, faced with millions threatened by starvation and disease, many organisations chose to focus on assisting intellectuals, giving them food, medicine, and books in order to stabilise European democracies and build a peaceful international order.
HOW TO WRITE A PERSONAL STATEMENT
STRUCTURE IS EVERYTHING Before you begin, jot down the structure for the personal statement. We’d always suggest: • An opening paragraph outlining your passion for the subject and your drive to succeed • Your academic studies and work experience • Interests / hobbies 1 STRONG OPENING PARAGRAPHS Opening paragraphs and sentences are really important but please be aware that we see thousands and many opening lines are just overused, including: • ‘From a young age I have always been interested in/fascinated by…’ • ‘I am applying for this course because…’ 2 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS Your personal statement is about highlighting why you are the perfect candidate for a place at our School. So be confident when you talk about your academic achievements and ambitions. 3 4 LET’S TALK ABOUT YOU As well as outlining your academic achievement and your aspirations, we want to get to know you as a person. What are your interests and hobbies outside of the classroom? They do not need to be award-winning; they will help build a well-rounded image of you as a person. 5 DON’T PLAGIARISE Plagiarising is a big no-go, at university and within your personal statement. 6 THERE’S A LIMIT There’s a 4,000 character limit or 47 lines – keep tabs on how much you’ve written. 7 NO JOKES Humour is often a great way to stand out from the crowd but not in this instance. We want to take you seriously and the assessor may have a very different sense of humour to you. 8 NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT Don’t leave it to the last minute to write your personal statement. You’ll find that it takes longer than you think to get it exactly as you want it. Now isn’t the time to rush.
