Universities of Kent and Reading
European Migration
About our partners
The Universities of Reading and Kent are two of Britain’s most forward thinking universities and in the top 3% of universities worldwide. Both have international outlooks, reflected in their courses and their welcome to international students.
The challenge
Although there is much debate today over migrants numbers, in the past historians and archaeologists identified that there were higher levels of migration. In this film, we had to sets out some new findings with reference to the Roman Period (almost 2000 years ago) and to the First World War (100 years ago) but visually link them.
The film was made as a collaborative project between Kent’s School of History, Kent’s Department of Classical and Archaeological Studies, and the University of Reading’s Department of Archaeology.
The film
Migration to and from Britain is currently a hot political topic, but is it really anything new? Apparently not! This film looks at the history of British migration, from the multi-cultural patchwork of Roman Britain to the First World War and finds that migration has always been a big part of British life.

Most funding agencies consider research impacts an important factor. Communicating impact is a skill in its own right and University College Dublin have created the Impact Toolkit to provide valuable guidance on explaining impact.
A career in science offers an exciting and rewarding chance to contribute and collaborate globally on the problems we all face. These careers extend far beyond the classic examples which come to mind.
