Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History and Politics

Gaining a firm academic grounding in the workings of history and politics, students select modules from a stimulating range of global concerns and historic periods. The course culminates in a written project, bringing together the skills students will have acquired over their three years of study.

History and Politics students develop a range of transferable skills which can be applied to a variety of rewarding careers. These skills include: effective research methods, clarity of expression, critical thinking and the capacity for argument and debate. Graduates go on to pursue careers in heritage and museums, politics, journalism, nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), charities, interest groups and lobbying, consultancy, the civil and foreign service and teaching.
