Course Summary

**History and Politics are a natural combination. Knowledge of the past helps us to understand the present. And current politics provides insights into history.** On this degree, you’ll study the progress of people, events and government through time. And you could get to see modern politics functioning first hand on a three-month internship at Westminster. This flexible course lets you tailor your studies to suit your own interests and career plans. Inspired by the rich history of Hull and its particular contribution to national politics, this degree will enhance your understanding of the human experience over the long term. And it'll enable you to apply historical insights to the study of present-day politics and governance. **Official Team GB partners** Did you know that the University of Hull is the official University Partner of Team GB? Our united belief is that anyone, with the right opportunities ahead and a dedicated team behind, can achieve extraordinary things. This is what our partnership with Team GB is built on. Extraordinary is in you – and we’ll help you find it. What does this mean for you? It means that whether you’re studying sports science, or marketing, or logistics, or healthcare, or engineering, you’ll be able to gain invaluable experience through this unique partnership.
