King's History department is an internationally-recognised centre for the study of the history of the world.

Our undergraduate curriculum introduces students to world history from the early medieval period to the present; it then offers students pathways to study every continent through their second and third years.

Our MA provision is similarly broad, developing students' expertise in medieval, early modern and modern world history.

We are an intellectual home for scholars of every region of the world, who use approaches which range from local micro-histories to large-scale quantitative analysis.

We particularly value conversation between scholars of different periods and places, with different approaches.
