About this course

16th for History in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026 I was offered a place at Penryn Campus through Clearing. I’d never been to Cornwall before and after the brilliant open day I decided to confirm my choice. The beautiful location and the way the university treated me and my family, combined with the opportunity to meet one of my history lecturers prior to study was outstanding.

My course has been excellent so far. It is totally different than I expected, for example I never thought I would enjoy looking at the theories and concepts behind History, yet I loved the way it taught me to question and see things in a different light. The same with Global History, originally, I couldn’t see myself studying it but when I came to it, it was really refreshing and rewarding.
