History and Sociology

The History and Sociology degree programme allows students to explore, amongst other things, the approaches and methods used by historians and sociologists. It reflects a convergence of interests among the teaching staff at Warwick between historically-minded sociologists and sociologically-minded historians. All first year students take the core History module 'Making of the Modern World (HI153)' and the core Sociology modules 'Sociological Perspectives' and 'Researching Society and Culture'. This module combination introduces the conceptual, methodological and practical issues which arise from combining the two approaches. Students also choose from a wide range of optional modules offered by the two departments. Third year students can spend most of their time on either History or Sociology, or alternatively they can continue to divide their study equally between the two disciplines.

For the full list of modules available in History, please see the undergraduate module list for each year of study (first year module list, second year module list, final year module list). For the modules available in Sociology please refer to the Sociology Department website.
