OUR POLITICS AND CONTEMPORARY HISTORY COURSES

We have five Politics and Contemporary History courses at the University of Salford. Depending on the course you choose to explore, our range of degrees will allow you to specialise in different disciplines, such as international relations, contemporary politics, 20th-century history, military history, and intelligence.

We have smaller class sizes, and in order to keep your learning experience fresh and bespoke, our teaching staff embed their research within our modules, lectures and seminars. We also offer our students the opportunity to apply for a parliamentary Westminster placement, where you can gain experience working with an elected MP.
