Sheffield’s research-led special subject, which you take in your third year, enables you to become an expert in your chosen area over a full year of teaching. You'll explore a specialised area of history with a subject expert, work with original sources and engage with cutting edge historical analysis.Through the study of history, we learn to analyse the complexity of human society and culture from many different perspectives. Historians are skilled in a critical appreciation of how cultures and ideas are constructed and negotiated; an understanding of power, especially who has power, how they got it, and how they use it; and what this means for people's sense of identity.Knowing about the events of the past also provides an essential basis for understanding the modern world, which is highly relevant about the challenges that face us today and in the future.With experts in every area of the globe and whose interests cover more than two millennia, history at Sheffield thus offers you the necessary global context to understand the most complex problems.
