History and International Relations (joint honours) BA (Hons)

Our joint honours course allows you to pursue your own areas of interest within History and International Relations whilst also providing you with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for your future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable you to gradually develop your knowledge and skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners.<br/><br/>History is about far more than studying the past. It enables you to discover why people act the way they do and to explore how societies develop. International Relations provides you with the opportunity to develop your understanding and knowledge of world politics, focusing on issues such as nationalism, global justice, security, migration and climate change. <br/><br/>Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.
