Course Overview

The History and Politics joint degree will appeal to ambitious students interested in developing a deep understanding of politics and political processes rooted in both the past and the present. You will work closely with world-class academics to develop the tools and techniques of historical research, and acquire an international and global perspective on politics and power.

The course provides a strong grounding in modern history, political theory, the history of ideas and the study of politics. You will work with digital information, engage in independent research projects of your own design, and practice developing policy positions on current events.

Studying at a diverse university with an international outlook, this degree will develop your understanding and knowledge of historical and contemporary political issues from an international and global perspective. Through a selection of modules from the City History and Politics programmes, and core seminars designed exclusively for the joint degree, History and Politics students will examine key historical and political developments in a range of nations, societies and cultures.

Students will develop skills in independent research, critical analysis, communication, public speaking and policy writing. Career development opportunities are embedded within the course: as part of the course, students will engage with contemporary politics and policymakers and will have the opportunity to gain professional experience through a work placement.
