Welcome
Welcome to the discipline of History in Department of History and Classics at Swansea University. Here you will find out more about what we do and how you can join us.
The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise confirmed that we are the leading history department in Wales. We are a large and thriving discipline with a wide variety of historical interests, and the combination of teaching and research is at the heart of our work. Students at Swansea tackle a range of historical subjects and periods with teachers who are experts in those fields. We are dedicated to helping every individual student achieve to the best of their ability.
It is our aim that our students leave not just with a good degree but also with a better understanding of how the past has shaped the world they live in and with memories of an excellent student experience.
Our specialist research staff are involved in the flagship research centres of the Arts and Humanities:
- The Richard Burton Centre for the study of Wales
- The Callaghan Centre for the Study of Conflict for the study of Conflict, Power and Empire
and the research groups:
- The Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Research
- The Centre for Research into Gender in Culture and Society
