Today’s sessions were absolutely outstanding. I’ve been to many of these types of events at other universities and today outperforms all of them by a mile (or more!) … I’ve never had study opportunities explained the way you did today - the format was so well balanced to ensure we got enough of everything we need.

This was without a doubt the best education information and engagement event I have attended in nearly 17 years in education - exceptional!

Subject Taster Days

Ancient World Study Day

Bring your Y12 and Y13 History students to our in-person Ancient World Study Day, which will build on their A-Level History curriculum.

The Ancient World has profoundly influenced subsequent generations of history, and helps us to understand the foundations of today’s world. This study day will introduce students to some of the diverse ways we study ancient history at Southampton, introducing a wide array of evidence from the literary to the material and visual, such as historical writings, art, architecture, archaeology, inscriptions, and philosophy.

Your students will also have the chance to quiz us and find out more about studying History at the University of Southampton.
