History and Political Science - University of Birmingham

A knowledge of politics helps you understand what governments do, shedding light on how some of history’s pivotal events were motivated by the political leaders of the day. Both fields of study help you to acquire important analytical and research skills. You will be investigating unfamiliar territory questioning some of the prevailing myths, preconceptions and prejudices that surround history as well as learning about campaigns, elections, protest movements, policy issues and political ideas.
