BA (Hons) History with Politics

BA History with Politics is an innovative and interdisciplinary exploration into how social, cultural, and political institutions, decisions, and events have shaped societies and nations around the world.

Rather than focusing on chronology or strictly demarcated historical periods, combining history and politics encourages and facilitates explorations and analyses of key issues, controversies, themes, and debates.

The study, analysis and understanding of the past is as important today as it has ever been.
Understanding past societies fosters emotional intelligence and allows us to appreciate the diversity and adaptability of human life.
Understanding our pasts can help us to shape our futures and, crucially, help us shape those futures intelligently, insightfully, fairly, and with compassion, contributing towards equality, diversity and social justice.
Our innovative approaches to the study of politics, peel back the formal veneer of political parties and institutions to reveal the major ideological, economic, social, and cultural conflicts
By exploring politics in this in-depth manner, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of our world.
We cross boundaries between the traditional and the more radical understandings of political phenomena.
