Engage with the most pressing questions and challenges of politics in a globalising world and learn about its many connections with the past with Swansea’s BA in History and Politics.
The Department of History, Heritage and Classic’s expertise covers a wide range of periods and subjects, from Ancient Mediterranean Empires to Europe’s medieval Crusades in the Middle East to the rise and fall of modern dictatorships. Our Lecturers in Politics, Philosophy and International relations will guide your study of contemporary politics and the forces that shape and drive it in the UK and world-wide.
At every stage of the course, you’ll take core modules that will give you a strong foundation of knowledge and skills. Alongside these, you can choose from optional modules that connect to different themes, letting you shape your own pathway based on what interests you most. This mix of structure and flexibility creates an inclusive learning environment where you can follow your passions and tailor your ambitions.
We offer an inclusive, student-focused learning environment and community. Modules are delivered and assessed in a variety of different ways and you will be encouraged to take responsibility for your own learning, to work independently as well as with others, to act professionally, and to master new skills.
The three-year structure of the degree is designed to facilitate progression and development across the levels of study. The optional modules give you the chance to shape your skillset, deepen your knowledge and practice communicating research results to a range of audiences.
Throughout your course you will have a Personal Tutor to support you in meeting your goals. The student-led History Society, which organises social events and cultural activities, is one of the many societies you’ll have access to as a student here at Swansea.
This course offers you the opportunity to spend a Year in Industry, in the UK or overseas, enabling you to gain valuable workplace experience. The University advocates for paid-only placements, which on average have a salary of over £20,000. Unpaid placements are considered on a case-by-case basis.
