This degree programme, taught jointly with the School of Political, Social and International Studies, offers you the chance to link your historical studies with the study of politics. As well as the full range of History offerings, you can choose from modules in Politics & Government, Political Thought and International Relations. (A separate booklet describing the Politics options is available on request). You are responsible for determining the overall balance between History and Politics in Years 2 and 3. In the second year you are free to determine the exact proportion of your studies you devote to each subject. You may choose to specialise in a particular country or region by combining study of the history of Nazism with contemporary Germany, Russian Politics with the history of Stalinism or British history with international relations. In the third year, you take a Special Subject in Modern History and a further module in Politics.
