Overview

By choosing our History and Politics (Hons) programme at University of Hull , you’ll uncover the historical roots of contemporary social, political and environmental challenges. From classical civilisations to modern communities, you’ll explore how different periods of history continue to influence our world, and to help us understand it better.

For three months, you could intern for an MP in Westminster. Our parliamentary placement scheme has been running for over 35 years, and is one of the most extensive of its kind in the UK. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study the machinery of British politics, while you watch its cogs actually turning. We also support placements at a range of other organisations locally, regionally and nationally.

Future prospects

The way we teach this joint degree gives you skills that employers value. You’ll learn how to analyse complex data. How to present clear and coherent arguments to diverse audiences. And by explaining, supporting and defending your ideas, you’ll become a better communicator.

You'll also gain teamworking skills through presentations and seminar discussions. And you'll learn how to plan, research and manage your own time through essays.

With a History and Politics degree, you can pursue a range of careers, such as political researcher, historian, museum conservator, researcher, or teacher. Hull graduates also work in journalism, the Civil Service, marketing, and law.
