Overview

History from University of New England covers three distinct areas: discipline knowledge; a choice of area studies; and the writing of history.

You will start out by exploring the nature of history, then progress to specialised studies of historical periods and problems. Towards the end of your degree you will have the opportunity to undertake substantial historical research projects, including writing for publication.

When you graduate you will have all the necessary attributes to become a professional historian, but the skills you have acquired are also highly portable and adaptable, helping you to future proof your career.

Careers

You’ll graduate with knowledge and skills in critical analysis, research and writing that are transferable across a range of professions. With greater experience and versatility, you will be ready to choose from a range of professional pathways, including:

historian or history consultant

marketing and public relations specialist

policy development professional or consultant

public or private sector administrator.
