Our history and politics degree offers an in-depth introduction to history and politics in a setting with a rich historical and political heritage.

This degree in history and politics introduces you to the study of contemporary and historical political theory and practice. Our innovative modules explore race, gender, violence, political systems and international development. You'll examine questions such as 'what do democracy, power and freedom mean?' and 'how did people come to the vote the way they do?'

You'll study five hundred years of British, European and global history in a historic location that offers easy access to important museum and library collections in London. You'll also be able to boost your future career prospects with a work placement in the political/policy, heritage, cultural or education sector.

Graduates of this course have gone on to careers in research, teaching, administration, central and local government, librarianship and information services, museums and heritage management. Others have pursued careers in media and communications, publishing, the voluntary sector, the National Health Service, and business.
