Course Overview

By studying History with Politics, you can learn about political history as its being written. Your lecturers will be the authors of some of the books you're using - and you'll even get the chance to contribute to their research. And, as well as benefiting from the latest thinking, you can learn through a work placement - perhaps in archives, museums, local community groups, schools, a National Trust property, or by working for a political party or campaign. You'll learn to understand how the historical study has contemporary relevance, particularly in politics. Indeed, politics enhances your knowledge of history by contextualizing these studies within the contemporary systems and philosophies of Westminster, Europe, and the world.

During your time at Worcester, you will have the opportunity to take part in subject-related work experience and volunteering activities. In Year 2 you can choose to take a History with Politics work experience module, and volunteering opportunities with local and regional historical and political organizations are regularly publicized to all History with Politics students.

The study of History with Politics equips you with a wide range of ‘transferable skills which will serve you well in subsequent paid employment.
