About us

The History Department is located within UCL’s Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences, but for most academic purposes it operates with a high degree of autonomy. It is unusual for its remarkable chronological breadth: expertise ranging from before 3000 BC to the present day. Our historians work in all fields of history, with departmental specialisms in intellectual and cultural history, history of the Ancient Middle East, British imperial history and history of the Americas. The Department has recently expanded provision and developed expertise in other areas, including South Asia and Africa. In both our teaching and research, we encourage comparative and transnational approaches. The Department currently has 42 permanent academic and teaching staff, including fifteen Professors. Departmental life is enriched by a number of research projects including two major ERC-funded projects: ‘Fragments of Roman Republican Antiquarians (FRRAnt)’ (Valentina Arena), ‘African Abolitionism: The Rise and Transformations of Anti-Slavery in Africa (AFRAB)’ (Benedetta Rossi) and the philanthropically-funded Iraq-based research network ‘Nahrein’ (Eleanor Robson), as well as the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery (Matthew Smith). The Department also hosts a number of British Academy and Leverhulme-funded post-doctoral research fellows. Teaching is further supported by a team of Associate Lecturers and Lecturers (Teaching) and Post Graduate Teaching Assistants. There are just over 640 undergraduate students in the Department, and over 100 taught graduate, and 50 research students. Most undergraduates take a BA in History, and we also offer Ancient History and History with a Year Abroad. Our taught masters degrees are MA in History, MA Medieval and Renaissance Studies, MA in Ancient History, MA Public History (which operates from the UCL East campus) and MA in Intellectual History and the History of Political Thought (joint programme with Queen Mary, University of London).
