Lancaster’s History and Politics degree is taught collaboratively between our Department of History and our Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion. It gives you the opportunity to develop knowledge, political insight and specialist skills alongside students and scholars who share your passion and interests.
You’ll be able to select complementary courses from each department. So, for example, in History you can study the political and cultural history of the United States while exploring foreign policy of the United States since 1945 in your Politics courses.
You’ll begin your degree with core modules including From the Medieval to the Modern: History and Historians, and Politics and Governance in the Contemporary World. In your second year and final year, your courses cover subjects such as Ethics: Theory and Practice; Modern Political Thought; Introduction to Peace Studies; The United Kingdom: State, Politics and Policies, and The Politics of the European Union.
You will have the opportunity to spend Year 3 on placement with a public, private or voluntary organisation in the UK or overseas. This experience will boost your employment prospects and will help you to decide on your career direction and the kind of organisation in which you want to work once you graduate. You will be doing a real, responsible job – with all the satisfaction that brings. Our Placements Team will support you in finding and applying for a suitable placement that will support your professional development. Applying for a placement is a competitive process and the preparatory modules you will complete in years one and two are designed to give you the best chance of success in your placement applications. You will also be provided with dedicated workshops, 1:1 appointments with careers professionals as well as opportunities to speak with employers here on campus.
