Explore why Magna Carta, written more than 800 years ago, still matters in an online session introducing university-level historical thinking. Join academic discussion and connect its history to present-day debates about rights, freedom and government.
Join King's College London for an online History taster session that introduces you to university-level historical thinking through a focused exploration of Magna Carta. The session asks why a document written more than 800 years ago still matters, and uses that question to show how historians examine the past and connect it to present-day debates about rights, freedom and government.
This event is designed to give you a flavour of undergraduate study, with academic discussion and an opportunity to think deeply about a major historical topic. It is suitable for students who are considering History or a related humanities subject at university, as well as anyone who is curious about how historical ideas shape the modern world.
No prior knowledge is needed, making it a welcoming introduction to studying History at degree level.
