Sam Dedman - BA History, 3rd yearI knew as soon as I arrived on Highfield during one of the Open Days that this was the place that I wanted to study. The fact that the History Department was so diverse also helped a great deal – especially since I didn’t know at the time what period of History I wanted to specialise in!
Amy Gill - BA History, Third YearI wanted to study at Southampton because it is a Russell Group University, has a diverse history department and I loved the friendliness and community.
Jessica Luff - BA History, Third yearSouthampton has a great community of people. Both the students and lecturers are intellectual people, but also not pretentious making them easily approachable. It is a university with a perfect balance between the two.
Mitesh Mistry - Ancient History, Second yearMy course has allowed me to use ancient and modern material to evaluate and question the events of the past - to see how the ancient world has influenced our modern lives as well as the parallels we can draw is fascinating.
Rhiannon Owen - BA English and HistoryI love the variety in the course. The hardest part is actually choosing what to study. I’ve studied a range of modules from the very modern America’s War on Terror to Medieval Castles.
