Course Summary

**Course overview** - If you’re interested in the connections between today's politics and their wider historical contexts, our History and Politics Foundation Entry degree is the course for you. - Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree. - History and Politics are two academic disciplines which are distinctive, yet related. You’ll look at external developments, processes and questions in historical and contemporary form, and how they affect many aspects of our daily lives. It will be your role to understand, evaluate and critically respond to these challenges. **Why study with us** - History is rated in the top 20 in the UK for Academic Support - National Student Survey (NSS) 2020. - You’ll be able to undertake a work placement with host organisations, such as the Lancashire Archives and the People’s History Museum. - The politics element provides you with training in political analysis and research methods and skills.
