Educational Services

Higher Education

University students from a variety of disciplines visit the Holocaust Centre, either in groups with their tutors or as individual research students. 

The Centre is increasingly formalising its affiliations with higher education institutions, including Nottingham University School of Education, Middlesex University and Bishop Grosseteste College in Lincoln.

Students come from a wide range of departments including:

• history
• theology
• English
• philosophy
• law
• criminology
• psychology
• cultural studies
• politics
• museum studies
• humanitarian aid studies
• war studies
• peace studies

Higher Education Programme

The structure of the visit for university students is twofold. Initially, students are provided with historical background, including the opportunity to hear a Holocaust survivor.

The second part of the visit is discipline-specific and discussion centres on issues pertaining to their particular course of study. 

“The experience has been an emotional one… It is easy to become complacent and apathetic about the Holocaust, but by using modern-day examples such as Darfur, it gives us the ultimate question: ‘Have we really learnt from the Holocaust?’”

Amanda Bradford, PGCE student
