Course Overview

The BA Contemporary History and Politics are offered jointly by our Department of History, Classics and Archaeology and our Department of Politics, which gives you the opportunity to study current political ideas and events in combination with an understanding of the wider historical context of the modern world. The study of history and politics develops the ability to understand how people lived, acted, and thought in the past, and the ways in which they act politically in the present. We encourage you to assess written and material evidence, to question accepted histories and explanations, and construct and present your own arguments. The course includes a wide variety of options across both disciplines, from the history of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Britain, to the study of social and political theory, the analysis of authoritarianism and repressive regimes, and parliamentary democratic practice. You will gain a mix of skills drawn from the two disciplines: the ability to analyze data of different types, to understand the context and meaning of events, and to relate the study of the past to current political issues and developments.
