We have gained an international reputation for our historical research and grants for teaching History in Higher Education. We are also interested in taking History to the general public, appearing on BBC TV's 'The One Show', and writing in the BBC History magazine and their Who Do You Think You Are publication. 

Studying History at Leeds Trinity University College offers students the chance to understand the world and themselves as part of it. Our students graduate with critical minds, a wide range of historical and transferable skills, and an understanding of the past which makes them fit to shape the future.

We have a relatively small history department which, allied with the quality and commitment of our teaching staff, means that you’ll get the very best history tuition available. In 2006 the National Student Satisfaction Survey showed that our students had the highest overall rates of satisfaction for any History department in the country.

Our degree in History can be studied either as a Single Honours or as part of a joint honours programme with English. Both of these courses offer a varied and challenging programme of study, covering everything from Boudicca and the Romans all the way through to the origins of modern culture. Our history degrees also include a unique professional placement scheme that will give you vital professional skills and prepare you for you future career.
