BA (Hons) History with Politics at Goldsmiths, University of London

Goldsmiths, University of London, United Kingdom

Programme overview

BA History with Politics is an innovative and interdisciplinary exploration into how social, cultural, and political institutions, decisions, and events have shaped societies around the world. Rather than focusing on chronology or strictly demarcated historical periods, combining history and politics encourages and facilitates explorations and analyses of key issues, controversies, themes, and debates. The study, analysis and understanding of the past is as important today as it has ever been.
