History

The UCL History department, which dates back to 1830, is consistently ranked as one of the best in the world for the quality of both its research and its teaching. Our rewarding programmes make this an exciting place to study over 5000 years of history across every continent, from the ancient Middle East to the twenty-first century.

We take pride in being elite but not elitist and are committed to nurturing talent irrespective of students' backgrounds. We work hard to maintain a learning environment in which students are both supported and stretched, helping them to make the transition into higher education and to achieve their full potential whilst they are here.
