One of the best things about reading History and Politics is its extraordinary variety. If you want, you can study political theory, philosophy, and quantitative methods alongside the entirety of History in the medieval and modern eras, equipping you with very useful inter-disciplinary skills. The tutors at LMH are exceptionally supportive and tutorials always keep you on your toes. I would recommend this course to anyone.
