History

Description

History is one of the most established academic disciplines, and one that consistently attracts high levels of public interest. Whether you like to read history, watch historical documentaries and films, or travel to sites of historical significance, History at UNSW will cultivate your interest. We introduce you to the many exciting possibilities regarding teaching, researching and writing history. You will be encouraged to think historically, to be able to synthesize information and analyse its meanings.

UNSW historians are engaged in original and contemporary research, their interests range from imperial, colonial and transnational histories to suburbia and urban cultural history, and from Asian migration to post-war Europe and the two world wars of the twentieths century.
