By combining history and sociology, you'll study central questions about society, and explore how they apply to key moments in time.

At Sussex, you engage directly with artefacts of international interest in relation to social history. The Mass Observations archive, with journal entries that give a snap-shot of everyday life in the 1940s, is housed at The Keep, a state-of-the-art archive conservation building located next to our campus.

You learn from leading experts in both fields. Our research influences ground-breaking debate and attracts a range of specialists to campus.

With a History and Sociology degree, you gain analytical, communication, writing and research skills. This means you can go into sectors such as:

• publishing and the media
• charities, local government, and health and social welfare
• heritage and museums.

We also offer sessions to help you apply for graduate schemes and jobs. Recent events have included workshops on:

• the Civil Service Fast Stream programme
• the National Government Development Programme in local government.
