History and Politics with a Placement Year BA (Hons)

**Overview**<br/><br/>Are you as interested in Tudor intrigues as you are in battles over Brexit? Do you want to explore today’s political world while studying its roots? And do you want to spend a year gaining invaluable employment experience? If so, then our BA History and Politics with a Placement Year degree is for you. From the ancient world to our own global politics, you’ll choose from modules which stretch across borders and through time. <br/><br/>You’ll learn from experts in both history and politics, drawing on a wide range of options to develop a deep understanding of the two subjects – and the relationship between them. As well as the knowledge you gain, you’ll build invaluable skills in critical thinking, communication and digital literacy. <br/><br/>You’ll study the past and present alongside one another, with your first year giving you a firm grounding in both subjects. Afterwards, flexibility will be at the heart of your degree: in your second and fourth years, you’ll split your time between history and politics in the way that suits you best. On BA History and Politics with a Placement Year, you’ll normally spend 9-12 months of your third year in a placement, gaining invaluable working experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice. <br/><br/>Norwich is an ideal place in which to study, with its historic centre reflecting its journey from medieval hub to radical modern city.
