With our History and Philosophy BA, you explore alternative approaches to both fields, as well as the expected ones.
Philosophy encourages you to consider universal questions about human behaviour. And in History, you look at how these have affected society at key moments in time.
At Sussex, you join a politically and philosophically engaged community. Plus you benefit from resources such as The Keep – a state-of-the-art archive centre that’s close to campus.
