History

Dates of course

Monday 6 - Friday 10 July 2026

Course description

Historians research, analyse and interpret the past, often as a way to help us understand the present. We study periods of great change, big events and powerful people. But also, the people, periods and events that don’t leave much evidence behind. The most striking thing about History at Oxford is its extraordinary range. We offer more than 100 different options on African, Asian, American, British, European, Global and Transnational History from the fading years of the Roman Empire to the present day.

This course is designed to give you a taste of what History at Oxford has to offer. You will experience a number of lectures and classes and undertake independent research ready for your first tutorial.

The Faculty of History at Oxford strives to create an environment in which everyone, at every academic level, can thrive. Apply to join the History UNIQ course now and realise your academic potential.
