Studying History and Politics at Westminster will equip you with the analytical tools to explore and understand societies, both past and present. History and Politics are deeply complementary disciplines: history and the writing of history are entrenched in politics and political frameworks, while contemporary politics and political organisations and movements can only be fully understood when examined in longer historical patterns. We teach History and Politics in a truly global framework, listening to previously marginalised voices and questioning long-standing beliefs surrounding power and identity. Top reasons to study this course (from the course page): - Our focus on modern global history and politics allows you to understand the processes that have shaped today’s world - The exciting opportunity to choose from a wide range of topics that matter to you – As well as the wide range of Politics option modules available to you, the Special Subjects offering in Years 2 and 3 enables you to select from many diverse and innovative six-week-long topics. - Our focus on equality, diversity and inclusion in the study of History and Politics and our emphasis on unearthing the lives and voices of those people who have previously been marginalised within academia. - Our Regent Campus means exceptional resources are within walking distance, and London’s museums and archives offer first-class research opportunities and unparalleled options on work placement modules - Our small group tutorials develop students academically and enhance employment potential - Our emphasis on employability; you’ll have access to our dedicated home of careers and enterprise, Zone29, as well as opportunities to connect with a professional mentor, take part in the Humanities Hackathon or choose optional work placement modules Campus: Regent, Central London Duration: 3 years Start dates: Full-time - September 2027 International tuition fee: £19,000 (Price per academic year).
