How to find information about this course
The bipartite nature of the degree means there is information in various places, but the definitive information about this degree (including entry requirements) is on the University of Oxford History and Politics webpage.
Very detailed information about the practicalities and details of the degree can be found in the course handbooks on the Oxford Historians Hub. Each year a course handbook (covering that year’s papers and rules) is given to current students. While the exact details change from year-to-year, it can give you an insight into how the degree works and what you may be able to study.
Our Undergraduate study webpage aims to give you a flavour of what you will learn through the politics papers within History and Politics. There is an equivalent page hosted on the Faculty of History's website.
