BA Honours History and Politics in London United Kingdom | University of Westminster

History and Political Science naturally complement each other: the study and documentation of history is deeply rooted in political contexts, while modern political systems, institutions, and movements gain clearer meaning when viewed through historical lenses. By studying both fields together, you'll develop critical thinking skills to analyze societies across different time periods.

Our program examines key forces that have shaped the contemporary world since the late 18th century - including conflicts, revolutionary movements, ideological developments, and governance systems - through dual historical and political viewpoints.

Located in central London, you'll benefit from the city's rich resources, engaging directly with course material through guided tours and site visits.

Beyond core concepts and methodologies, you can select from diverse elective modules offering global perspectives: history courses cover modern Europe, China, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Americas from multiple viewpoints, while political studies examine regions including Britain, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the United States.
