This programme provides students with an intellectual training in the mutually enriching disciplines of History and Politics.

This joint programme equips students in identifying historical and contemporary patterns of social change, divisions, diversity and inequality.

Sociology is a scientific discipline concerned with the explanation of social life and human behaviour of all kinds.

History explains the modern world by tracking phenomena like gender, race, class, religion, the state, empire, or capitalism back through time.
