On Campus
This programme provides students with an intellectual training in the mutually enriching disciplines of History and Politics. A key premise of the programme is that understanding the present and anticipating the future requires the ability to study and interpret the past and to appreciate how the insights of political theory and the tools of historical inquiry combine to illuminate political developments, including those in the contemporary world.
The programme's internship scheme involves work placements with a range of government agencies and political parties at Stormont, as well as the Police Ombudsman, the BBC and local non-governmental agencies and consultancies, vital work experience and exposure to the world of policy-making. Students spend three days a week seconded to an organization, gaining direct experience of policy-making and political decision-making.
Northern Ireland's post-conflict society offers a globally-significant location for studying politics, and discipline has strong links with local government, non-governmental organisations, and museums.
