Advantages and Disadvantages of Joint honours History and politics Degree BA

Hey

I was just curious if anyone could iron out for me the advantages and disadvantages of studying a joint hours degree in comparison with studying a single honours degree, particularly in the case of History and Politics which is what i am hoping to study in 2015.

Kind regards

The only disadvantage I can think of is that you'll get less optional modules due to having to do core modules in both subjects.

They are highly compatible subjects and work well together. If you are interested in topics like power and how/why its exercised, its probably a good combination.

Its also worth you looking at the new Liberal Arts degrees offered by Exeter, Bristol etc - these 4 year degrees combine a wide range of Arts/Humanities/Social Science subjects *and* a Year Abroad.
