Develop your expertise in historical events and the political systems that surround them. You’ll build the toolkit needed to critically analyse a range of sources, from the past to modern policy, equipping you to excel as both a historian and a political analyst.
Explore social and political events of the past in order to understand the world we live in today - and anticipate the issues of tomorrow.
In order to better understand the current social and political climate, we must look back on events and historical actors that have shaped how people and states interact. Historians are skilled in a critical appreciation of how cultures and ideas are constructed and negotiated; an understanding of power, especially who has power, how they got it, and how they use it; and what this means for people's sense of identity.
Study past societies from the ancient world to the 21st century, exploring political, social, economic and cultural themes from around the globe and laying the historical context necessary for you to engage with the politics of the UK, EU and countries across the globe.
Using case studies and exploring political theories, you’ll develop and demonstrate your views and explain what can be done to address some of the big issues affecting society today – from food poverty to climate change to free speech.
