History, BA Hons FullTime
History at Oxford is truly a special experience. We have some world-class tutors who have pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me so much in such a short time.

However, because it is a composite degree, you're likely to struggle with letting the two sides coexist from time to time. read more
