Description
You will explore global developments through the complementary disciplines of history and politics. The balanced combination of history and politics enables you to develop an informed awareness of the contemporary world and a clear understanding of the historical roots of its ideas and problems, as well as its social, economic and political structures.
The History and Politics BA has been designed to give students an understanding of issues such as the theory and practice of international relations. By studying domestic and foreign policies it is possible to understand how political progress or conservatism has led to the most prolific events in modern history. You aren't confined to modern history though, as you will have plenty of flexibility to choose which periods of history you study in your option modules.
