History
Why Choose Pembroke?
Pembroke has a large team of tutors and lecturers. The Senior History Tutors are Stephen Tuck, an expert on the history of America, and Adrian Gregory, a specialist in First World War history and the writing of historical memory.
- Throughout the year, Pembroke’s History community will often arrange dinners and other social occasions such as quizzes and film nights for the historians in college to meet together, in addition to regularly held academic presentations and talks.
Pembroke’s relatively high intake of students in History joint schools also broadens the appeal and diversity of our history community, making it even easier to meet and socialise with other historians.

Have you considered our joint honours courses?
History can also be taken as part of several joint honours courses, including History and English, History and Modern Languages, History and Economics and History and Politics. Find out more about each on their respective course pages.

What our students say

Oxford was never on my radar, never an option I considered at all, until I attended an open day. Looking around the city (and around Pembroke!) made me feel so inspired and welcomed, despite being from a working-class and first-generation to university background. The rest was history! I put in my application, attended the interviews, cried many tears, and got my offer!
