About us
History Society is a place for everyone who loves history, whether you study it at university or simply can’t get enough of it. We bring history to life through a mix of academic talks, socials, themed activities, museum trips and our annual tour.
Our society is all about creating a welcoming community where you can meet like-minded people, explore your interests beyond the classroom and make memories along the way. We also offer opportunities to get involved creatively, including writing for our student history magazine, Historia.
Whether you’re passionate about ancient civilisations, Tudor drama, modern history or just love a good historical story, there’s a place for you in History Society.
