Part-Time Study

The School of History welcomes part-time students on both the History BA and War Studies BA programmes at the Canterbury campus. Following the same structure as full-time undergradutes, part-timers study the three year programme over six years.

Given the constraints of modern working life, we offer a limited selection of 'twilight modules' taught in the evening for individuals to attend outside of working hours. For those with more flexible employment, the full range of undergraduate modules are available to students who are free to study alongside their full-time peers.

We endeavour to be as accomodating as possible for part-time students, recording lectures and providing resources online for those unable to attend lectures in person, and being as flexible as possible with regard to seminar allocation (where multiple groups are available).

For those individuals returning to education after several years, we are confident that you will find yourselves able to flourish with our full range of student support measures available to you.

Should a student be unable to continue their studies for the entire six years, we offer certification in the form of a Certificate of Higher Education (following successful completion of Stage One - typically after two years), and a Diploma of Higher Education (following successful completion of Stage Two, after four years).

Location

The School of History is based at the University of Kent's Canterbury campus.

Called Durovernum by the Romans, Canterbury is a city steeped in history and as such makes a stimulating environment for anyone wishing to study the past. The green and leafy campus is situated on a hill overlooking the city, and is conveniently located for travel to both London and the continent.

The resources available to undergraduates are also excellent. Historians gain access to a wealth of books, journals and other resources through the university's Templeman Library (which is home to over a million items, and the British Cartoon Archive), alongside privileged access to the Canterbury Cathedral Library and Archives. This represents an opportunity to work with a range of top-quality primary sources - such as the Cathedral's unique collection of medieval and early modern manuscripts.
