Choosing a degree

At undergraduate level, we offer BA History, plus two specific History pathways within it: Global History and Military History.  You can also choose to combine History with other disciplines by taking either the Anthropology or Politics pathways.  At Masters level, we offer an MA History and a more research-focused MRes History, plus two degrees which flow from specialisms at Goldsmiths: MA Black British History and MA Queer History.  We also supervise research students for the MPhil/PhD History.

 

Study abroad

The Department of History offers an Erasmus scheme which enables you to live in a European city for part of your degree.
