A joint honours degree in History and Sociology equips you with a wide range of skills that are valuable to employers.
You’ll have a thorough understanding of some of the key issues faced in modern society, but you’ll also be a strong independent researcher. You’ll be able to analyse and interpret information from multiple sources, draw your own conclusions and communicate them clearly. You’ll also work comfortably in a team and have organisational skills from studying two different subjects.
Graduates have gone into a wide range of careers as a result, including social work, the charity sector, the civil service, journalism, law, education and the creative industries. Others have pursued postgraduate study or professional training.
