What Is a History Degree?
History is one of the most desired academic degrees amongst students when it comes to pursuing a Bachelor of Arts.
History degrees are designed to teach you to move beyond yourself and envision other worlds, to explore the interplay between material circumstances and human character. History combines the careful analysis of evidence with compelling storytelling. Moreover, History degrees aim to increase cultural sensitivity and literacy.
This degree is divided into various areas of expertise such as Classical History or Art History, which will help students gain relevant knowledge for themselves.
Benefits of a History Degree
History is one of the most versatile undergraduate majors, due to the fact that it touches upon all forms of human endeavour from arts and languages to science and economics.
Candidates studying a History course will also be taught how to effectively collect, analyse, interpret, and arrange a wide variety of sources into persuasive arguments. Thus, having these skills will increase the chance of any graduate finding a job, no matter if it is in this field or not.
A report from Georgetown University’s Center on Education illustrates that graduates from History majors have the highest salary amongst graduates from all other humanities majors.
History Degree Structure
History courses are usually a three-year commitment and offer many academic programmes ranging from foundational courses to specialised ones. Some universities even have site excavations, through which students gain more practical knowledge.
Like most of the degrees, any History course concludes with a dissertation in any chosen area of interest.

StudentSDU - a miniature smart cityThe campus of SDU is like a hip district of a city: young, modern, fresh and everyone is running around with Starbucks in their hands – of course in reusable cups. The Scandinavian minimalistic interior is everywhere, sometimes it has a light post-soviet aesthetic, but I guess we call it chic.

The Campus is huge, you can easily spend your day there even if you don’t have courses to attend from 8 am to 8 pm. Huge library with 3D printers and boardgames, several study rooms, canteens with amazing food, A Starbucks as I already mentioned but I just have to do it again because it is a lifesaver and many different opportunities for a workout session after a pumpkin spice latte.
I love SDU not just because of the campus itself, but the teaching is high quality and the professors will become your friends eventually. It is a motivating University and Campus, full of life and people seems to be busy or late from somewhere all the time, but you don’t feel lost.Programme: American StudiesDegree: Master'sCampus: Odense
