Tutorials in History

Bath SCIO students

OXFORD’S FACULTY OF HISTORY is one of the largest in the country with about 100 permanent teaching staff, 1200 undergraduates and 500 graduates, and served by a large teaching collection of books and electronic resources as well as the Bodleian Library. The size and quality of the department mean that a broad range of subfields are studied: British history is at its core, but American, European, Asian, African and other histories are also studied, supported in some cases by specialist collections such as the Vere Harmondsworth Library for Americana (the largest collection outside north America) or the collection of the Indian Institute. Students have the opportunity to study primary texts as well as secondary literature across a broad range of tutorial options.
