The University For our students, the University of Westminster is a gateway to professional life. The strong research and postgraduate programme across all disciplines sustains high quality teaching and our world leading status in many subjects. The University has long encouraged students from the widest possible range of backgrounds and provided part-time as well as full-time modes of study. In these ways, all students can benefit from great diversity. There are 22,000 students on four campuses of which three are at the heart of London Approximately 15 students take single honours history each year but they study with over one hundred students who take in combination history, politics, geography, sociology, and socio-legal studies. History at Westminster History is a long-established discipline at the University of Westminster which formerly operated within the framework of the BA Social Science programme in Central London and the Joint Degree Programme at Harrow. These programmes have gradually merged and from October 1997 the History Subject Area has offered offer an integrated programme in Modern History based in Central London. The modules offered by the History Subject Area at Undergraduate level broadly reflect the teaching and research interests of staff. We provide a coherent package of modules which reflect the broad spectrum of the modern historical discipline. The chronological focus of the history modules is therefore predominantly late nineteenth and twentieth century with a geographical emphasis on Britain, Europe and the wider world; this relatively tight focus enables modules to be offered in social, economic, political, gender and diplomatic history against a common background.
