History and Politics BA Honours

This three-year, full-time undergraduate program offers a rigorous integration of modern global history and political science, spanning the transformative period from 1789 to 1989. Students build a robust foundation in historical processes, international relations, and political theory, with the flexibility to specialize in their second and third years through elective options and intensive six-week "special subject" modules. Ideally situated in central London, the campus is within walking distance of prestigious research hubs, including the British Library and Parliament, facilitating direct engagement with primary archives. Instruction is delivered through a blend of lectures, interactive seminars, and personalized mentorship. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, students can choose to gain external experience through archival internships or international exchange programs. Assessment is diverse and professionally oriented, utilizing methods such as content analysis, policy briefs, and primary research reports. Graduates emerge with a multidisciplinary skill set, highly qualified for roles in public service, policy research, academia, and global client relations.
