UCAS for History

Hey guys,
I’m interested in applying for english and history, but at the minute I have done a lot of reading for English but not so much for history,
I just wondered what anybody would recommend for wider reading or just things I could do to demonstrate my interest as especially for reading, I have no idea where to start!
And also how do I blend my interest in English and history into one personal statement ?
Thanks for any advice 😊

in terms of showing an interest in history in your PS, it doesnt have to just be reading, maybe mention books youve read, especially for coursework and how the different historians views impacted yours etc
but you can include documentaries youve watched or museums or trips youve been on

and maybe you can mention how these two interests are related to each other, or how you want to combine these two interests in your personal/future pursuits :smile:
