Welcome to the Department of Politics and History. We are a vibrant and growing department of researchers and teachers on contemporary politics, history, and security topics. In the field of both History and Politics, this department has received RAE scores in the top third of universities in the UK, and with new lecturers added to our staff our ranking is set to go higher still.

Our students routinely rate us highly in the National Student Survey: see the what our students say page to see all of their comments, both positive and negative. We are confident in our teaching and research skills, and invite students to inquire directly to our staff if you have questions about studying here.
