Course Description
Overview
On this exciting History and Politics degree, you will explore the relationships between contemporary politics and the history of the modern world as you learn from world experts, debating the very latest research and topics. You will learn to analyse carefully, to make well-informed and well-reasoned decisions, and to argue persuasively. You’ll also learn to challenge received wisdom, and develop different views, thoughtfully and respectfully. Above all, the joint study of these complementary disciplines will allow you to hone your skills of critical thinking. Taught jointly between the School of History and the School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies, you’ll get to experience the best of what both have to offer. Academics who teach both subjects are at the forefront of research: in the Times Higher Education Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 Analysis, UEA was ranked 3rd overall in the UK for research quality in History and 14th for research quality in Politics and International Studies.
About This Course
If you are interested in how history and politics affect one another, our History and Politics BA is the perfect course for you. It’s an exciting opportunity to study history within a political context. What, for example, is the historical background to political notions of gender, class, and race? How has this informed our understanding of modern society from issues of racial discrimination to class privilege, and gendered ‘norms’?
Your degree will be taught by experienced and internationally renowned academics. Our modules are inspired by their research interests and expertise, putting you at the forefront of the historical and political debate. The degree’s flexible structure means you can choose your preferred balance between history and politics in your second and final years – tailoring your learning to your interests!
You’ll gain a foundation in the history of various nations, from Britain to Russia to Japan, which will enable you to understand better the complexities of global politics and diplomacy today. You’ll have the chance to investigate the political motivations of those who held power in the past and those who hold power today. And you’ll be able to take a long view on some of the most influential and important current debates.
