Across centuries and continentsCambridge has one of the largest and best history faculties in the world, and our course reflects the quality and breadth of interest of our teaching staff. The History degree gives you the opportunity to explore the past from many different angles – including political, economic, social and cultural history – and to explore the interaction between history and other disciplines, such as politics, anthropology and archaeology.There’s ample scope throughout to pursue personal interests and experiment with different historical approaches. Some paper options are shared with other courses, such as Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, Classics, and Politics and International Relations and specialist papers allow you to work with a variety of source materials as varied as Hollywood movies and Renaissance art. Facilities and resourcesOur major resource is our teaching staff of more than 100 leading experts. In recent years Cambridge has consistently been among the top three of the world’s best universities for History in the QS World University Rankings, and both the Times and Guardian currently rank our course the best in the UK.The Seeley Library and the nearby University Library mean that finding the right book is rarely a problem, and there is a wealth of rare materials and manuscripts suitable for students’ research. All undergraduate historians (not just those taking History and Modern Languages) are also encouraged to take up or improve foreign languages, and they have access to both the University and specialist language teaching.

Years 1 and 2 (Part I)Part I lasts two years (six terms) and comprises six papers, the first five of which are broad survey papers designed to give you an overview of a period in history. You study one each term for the first five terms and sit a written examination in each at the end of Year 2.

You take at least one paper on a period of British political history and at least one paper on a period of British economic and social history. For the other three papers it’s possible to study any period of British or European history from the Greeks to the present; global and imperial history; the history of North America and the United States; and/or the history of political thought.

If you wish, you can begin to specialise, for example in ancient and medieval papers, or almost entirely in the twentieth century.For the compulsory sixth paper – Themes and Sources, an introduction to the handling of primary sources – you submit a 3,000-5,000 word essay. There’s a wide choice of topics, typically investigating a major comparative theme in history (such as the environment, money and society, or the history of the body).

The essay is written over a period of some months and involves individual research. Typical offers requireA Level: A.AAIB: 40-42 points, with 776 at Higher LevelFor other qualifications, see our main pages.

Admissions assessmentsAll applicants are required to take the pre-interview written assessment for History at an authorised centre local to them (for a lot of applicants, this will be their school/college).

Assessment format. Section 1: Reading Comprehension (60 minutes). Section 2: Critical response to text(s) (60 minutes)You must be registered in advance (separately to your UCAS application) to take the assessment – the registration deadline is 15 October 2019. Please note that open centres may set an earlier deadline for accepting entries, and it is your responsibility to check if this applies at your centre. Your assessment centre must register you for the pre-interview assessment; you’re not able to register yourself. See the page for information about assessment centres and registration.The pre-interview written assessment for History will be taken on 30 October 2019. Please check the for scheduled start times.Please note that your performance in the pre-interview assessment will not be considered in isolation, but will be taken into account alongside the other elements of your application.Mature students (aged 21 or over) applying to one of the mature Colleges should refer to the relevant information about pre-interview assessments on the page. Specimen and past papersA specimen paper has been produced to allow you to sample the written assessment format and practice under timed conditions. It is not expected that you will answer every question correctly; the written assessment is designed to be challenging.

Even some strong candidates may not complete the paper in the time allowed; it is designed to distinguish across our field of high-calibre applicants.Experience with similar assessments and from trials indicates that, on average, typical applicants to the most highly selective undergraduate courses (who are by definition academically very able) will gain approximately half of the available marks. The best applicants will score more highly, but only relatively few are expected to gain more than 80 per cent of the available marks.Written assessments help admissions tutors to assess whether candidates have the skills, aptitudes and any required subject knowledge and understanding required to study the relevant course at Cambridge. They are only one of the elements used in the admissions process. Others include a candidate’s academic record and forecast grades in school-leaving examinations; UCAS application form; examples of recent written work submitted to the College to which they are applying; and performance at interview, if invited to attend.From 2019, the pre-interview written assessment for History will be administered with four other subjects within an Arts-Humanities Admissions Assessment question booklet. Section 1 will have identical questions. Section 2 will have subject-specific questions.

Please ensure you answer the appropriate question or questions for your subject in Section 2.Specimen Papers:Past Papers:(papers combined)Submitted workApplicants to the following Colleges are required to submit one or two as examples of written work prior to interview.
