A knowledge of politics helps you to understand what governments do, shedding light on how some of history’s pivotal events were motivated by the political leaders of the day. Our Joint Honours History programmes concentrate on medieval and modern History, with scope to range beyond European boundaries. You have the chance to investigate unfamiliar territory and to question some of the prevailing myths, preconceptions and prejudices that surround history from the Middle Ages to the present day. In Political Science, you will learn to find your way through different arguments, rival theories and alternative explanations, as well as learning about campaigns, elections, protest movements, policy issues and political ideals. Both fields of study help you to acquire important analytical and research skills that are very attractive to employers, which may explain why an impressive 90% of our students are in work or further study six months after graduating.
