History offers study in the history of political thought, welfare and conflict, maritime and imperial history, gender and sexuality, religious history, science and medicine, and travel and migration. Social Policy is relevant to all of us because it deals with the everyday aspects of our lives. Studying history and social policy at Swansea University could enable you to contribute to changing or influencing how societies recognise and address people’s social needs. The programme is delivered through lectures, tutorials and seminars. You will usually receive nine hours minimum scheduled contact time with your teachers every week. Every degree involves choices; options will be available and if first choices are not secured then the alternative will be as good. All Arts and Humanities programmes include independent learning which requires initiative and hard work. We will challenge you with demanding teaching and assessment. Assessment includes essay, coursework and examination, presentations and a dissertation.     On completion of this course our students have progressed to a broad range of work sectors including education, recruitment, marketing, management, and heritage, working for companies such as: Mercedes Benz; English Heritage; and St Fagans National History Museum. Other recent graduates have progressed to postgraduate courses in: MA Modern History; MA History; MA Early Modern History; and MA Communication, Media Practice and PR.
