Are you looking for a degree that combines the study of history and politics with 21st-century employability? At Northumbria we offer a high level of academic rigour as well as thorough training in analytical skills.
Core modules in our History and Politics degree provide a grounding in both history and politics as well as the links between them. Optional modules offer considerable flexibility to pick and choose from revolutionary movements in Europe and major debates in American history to issues such terrorism and genocide.

To begin with your learning will focus on the acquisition of research and communication skills, then you will delve into employability and project management, and your final year will allow you to showcase independent learning through a research project of your choice.
