Programme Overview
Understand How the Past Shapes Today's World
The degree combines historical study with the critical and logical
demands of International Relations.
By examining broad factors such as age, ethnicity and resources, as
well as particular case studies from different regions, students can
develop a deeper understanding of how conflict and disputes have
affected society, politics and economies.
The programme helps students examine how historical events influence
contemporary governments, international relationships, public policy
and global decision-making.
Today's international challenges did not begin today.
Understanding the history behind conflict, political systems and
international relationships can provide important context for
understanding the modern world.
