BA Politics and Modern History course combines an investigation of the historical development of the modern world with a study of its political machinery and an examination of its political thought in a historical setting. Broad course units in history, government institutions and political thought constitute the core of the degree in the first two years, with more specialist options in Year 3, including a 12,000-word thesis. The course combines two complementary ways of looking at the world and will give students the tools to understand the workings and history of political systems, international relations, conflict and cooperation in Britain, Europe and beyond. Throughout, students will engage with a broad range of themes in both subjects, ranging from globalisation in historical perspective to the politics of modern China.
