On our Foundation Entry degree in History you’ll discover how to become a skilled historian, combining the study of British and international history across a broad timespan - from the early modern to the contemporary.

Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree.

You’ll approach history from many different directions. The themes covered in our teaching include: cultural history, economic and social history, gender history, international history, and political history.

You’ll learn to analyse evidence, formulate questions and put forward your own arguments and interpretations, as you become a historian yourself.

Why study with us

History courses at the University of Central Lancashire are ranked 3rd in the North West for student satisfaction (CUG, 2022).
You’ll be able to take on a work placement with host organisations such as the Lancashire Archives and the People’s History Museum.
Develop your own Community History Project , working to a project brief devised by a real client.
