BA (Hons) Modern History and Politics

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

With this degree, you obtain a thorough grounding in the fields of modern history and politics and will consider how the two disciplines can be integrated. You take an Introduction to Politics module alongside your history modules in your first year and continue to combine modern history and politics modules in your second and third years. There is a range of relevant options to choose from in both departments and you choose to write your final-year dissertation in either politics or history.

In your history modules, you investigate the intersection of the ideas, cultures, and economics of different people over the last 200 years of western history. You’re introduced to the relationship between today’s ‘modern’ world, which assumes the significance of political liberty, global interdependence and sexuality, and events and ideas that originated in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Always seeking political cause and effect, our course casts light on aspects of life you might never ordinarily connect to politics and government. You investigate the scope of political science as a field of inquiry, and the methods used by political scientists, in order to explore questions concerning both what does occur in politics, and what should occur in politics.
