BA History and Politics

Objectives History and Politics offer complementary approaches to major aspects of both past and present human activity, and this degree sets contemporary political problems in their historical perspective. The special interests of the staff in these two large departments cover most areas of the world. By selecting appropriate optional modules students can pursue a special interest in the history and politics of a particular country or region. For the first two years, students take an equal number of modules in each subject. In the Third Year, they may choose to emphasise either History or Politics. There are no language requirements.
Entry requirements General university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
