History

Description

History at Hertfordshire means exploring everything from war and witchcraft to propaganda and popular protest. It’s a fascinating journey examining the impact of world-changing events on people’s everyday lives. Together, we’ll delve into faith, freedom, migration and identity, discovering how the modern world was made.

Over the past two decades, the History department at the University of Hertfordshire has ranked as one of the strongest in the UK for the impact of its research. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, 82% of the department’s overall research was rated 'world-leading' and 'internationally excellent'.

The department includes cultural, gender, political, religious, business and social historians, and its expertise ranges from the study of early modern medicine and witchcraft to protest in 19th-century Britain and propaganda during the Cold War.

Historians at Hertfordshire have an excellent track record in the sphere of research co-production and in developing international and interdisciplinary links. The department works with museums and trade organisations, volunteer groups, and journalists and government departments.
