A Diploma of Higher Education in History gives you the chance to build a strong foundation in historical study, examining people, places and ideas across different periods. You can also follow combined routes, linking history with languages (with pathways in French, German or Spanish), Politics, International Relations or the wider arts and humanities. For maximum flexibility, the Open diploma lets you study history modules alongside other subjects to shape a qualification that reflects your own goals.
