About History and Politics, BA - at University of Sheffield

This degree combination equips you with the skills to flourish as both a historian and a political analyst, enabling you to develop your knowledge of critical historical and current events and themes. You’ll develop expertise at working with historical and political sources and think about how we study the past across an exciting and expansive range of periods. You will also analyse the more recent political past and learn how to analyse policies and current political affairs.

Explore social and political events of the past in order to understand the world we live in today - and anticipate the issues of tomorrow.

In order to better understand the current social and political climate, we must look back on events and historical actors that have shaped how people and states interact.

Study past societies from the ancient world to the 21st century, exploring political, social, economic and cultural themes from around the globe and laying the historical context necessary for you to engage with the politics of the UK, EU and countries across the globe.

Using case studies and exploring political theories, you’ll develop and demonstrate your views and explain what can be done to address some of the big issues affecting society today – from food poverty to climate change to free speech.

Over three years, you’ll gain a host of transferable skills and knowledge that suit a huge range of careers – from local, national, and international government, to the charitable sector and the media.
