In order to ensure we keep our courses fresh, exciting, and reflective of the latest research developments, we regularly review and update our course content and structure. Full details of our BA Politics and History for students beginning in 2020 will be available on our website in October 2019. Choose from a wide range of topics including British, European, American and world history, and international politics and political thought. Concentrate on different areas of the world from both an historical and a political perspective, or develop your interest in particular approaches to the study of history or politics. Explore and evaluate different forms of historical evidence and benefit from the University's historic collections and the acclaimed Great North Museum on-campus. Develop skills in critical analysis, communication and research through an independent research project on a topic of particular interest to you.
