About Us
The Department of History at King’s College London is one of the largest and most dynamic centres for historical research and teaching in the UK. 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 final years. Our MA provision is similarly broad, developing students’ expertise in medieval, early modern and modern 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.
