What can I do with my History degree?
“The skills and expertise you will develop whilst studying the University of Sheffield will open a complete array of opportunities in varied and interesting careers.”
Jamie Inkles
BA History
History may become the focal point of your career - for example, if you are interested in teaching, academia or heritage work - or maybe you will use the range of skills and experience you gain during your degree to follow a different path.
Our graduates have gone on to become:
- lawyers
- marketing executives
- civil servants
- accountants
- management consultants
- university lecturers
- archivists
- librarians
- staff in museums, tourism and the heritage industry
“Obviously, history is an essay writing subject. So I've really taken the ability to form a strong line of argument.”
Florence Williamson
BA History and Politics
