BA (Hons) History and Politics
University of HullCottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX
Course overview
Our flexible course lets you tailor your studies to suit your own interests and career plans. You’ll uncover the historical roots of contemporary social, political and environmental challenges. From classical civilisations to modern communities, you’ll explore how different periods of history continue to influence our world, and to help us understand it better.
For three months, you could intern for an MP in Westminster. Our parliamentary placement scheme has been running for over 35 years, and is one of the most extensive of its kind in the UK. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study the machinery of British politics, while you watch its cogs actually turning.
We also support placements at a range of other organisations locally, regionally and nationally. Hull’s a city that’s steeped in history. Explore the Hull History Centre, the Blaydes Maritime Centre, and the world renowned Wilberforce Institute.
And, of course, there’s the Brynmor Jones Library. Here, we have more than a million books, journals and periodicals. As well as extensive digital resources drawn from libraries and archives across the world.
