About the course

With our History and Philosophy BA, you'll explore alternative approaches to both fields, as well as the expected ones.

Philosophy encourages you to consider universal questions about human behaviour. In History, you look at how these have affected society at key moments in time.

At Sussex, you will join a politically and philosophically engaged community as well as benefiting from resources such as The Keep – an archive centre close to campus.
