Part-time qualifications in local history

Enrich and extend your knowlegde of local history

Our part-time local and social history courses concentrate on cultural and social aspects of history, on different strata of society, and on teaching you how to do research using local and national archives. 

Teaching takes place in smaller groups than many full-time degree courses, and (depending on the course) is held during evenings, weekends, short residencies or online. Tutors and students get to know each other in an informal, supportive and friendly environment.
