Overview

We cover British, South Asian, European and African and North and South American history alongside the more niche topics of photographic history, the history of sport and leisure, war and conflict, migration, ethnicity and racism, and employability.

We use a mixture of year-long and half-year modules to allow you to study a wide range of different subject and experience a variety of diverse teaching methods and types of assessment. As you progress through the course, we’ll challenge you with more in-depth explorations, and the subject matter will become increasingly complex.

At DMU, you can study History and Politics or History and International Relations as a joint honours course, broadening your understanding of events that shape our world. You will choose 50 per cent of your options from our History modules and 50 per cent from Politics or International Relations modules.
