Doing History at University 2024
Thinking of studying history at university?
Tuesday 2 July
University of Sheffield
We are pleased to be hosting a Doing History at University event for students and teachers in partnership with the University of Sheffield. The Department of History is one of the largest, most active and successful centres for teaching and historical research in the UK. It was ranked among the UK's top three History departments for the impact and quality of its research, and its teaching is consistently rated as excellent.
The aim of the event is to introduce students to history at university, and how to make yourself stand out in the application process. For teachers, of course we all want the best for ourselves and our students, but knowing how best to make them stand out from the crowd or how to best support their applications to study history at the university of their choice is not always easy or immediately obvious.
This one-day event will equip students with the tools to ensure that you have the best chance of studying history at the university of your choice. For a day packed full of helpful advice, workshops, mock interviews and case studies, plus sessions from the University of Sheffield history department and a chance to meet current students, this event is a must for students looking to study history at university and post-16 teachers looking to support their students.
The programme will include:
- Advice about admissions from the University of Sheffield
- A sample lecture from Professor Julie Gottlieb
- Making the leap from sixth-form to university history
- What makes a great undergraduate historian
- How to make your UCAS application stand out
- Support for those applying to universities with interviews
Places are limited with a maximum of 5 per school. Teachers may book places on behalf of their students. A small £5 fee is charged to cover costs of attendance and refreshments. The event is open to both Historical Association members and non-member schools.
Booking closes at 10am on Tuesday 25 June 2024.
