The History Department runs the Model United Nations, both internally and in external conferences, and regularly competes in the Bath International Schools' Model United Nations Conference.

We organise a range of lectures from prominent speakers on a variety of historical topics, which have included Professor Ronald Hutton from the University of Bristol on the 'Battle for Merry England.'

The department prides itself on its domestic and international educational visits, most recently to the Imperial War Museum and the Houses of Parliament, London, and Krakow and Auschwitz, Poland.
