Course summary
Are you interested in History, and want to see how it shapes the international system today? Then our History and International Relations combined degree is ideal for you. If you want to not only understand contemporary global affairs, but also want to know the events which have shaped the world we live in, then we have the course for you. Why did wars occur and why do we still have wars today? How do we account for historical inequalities, and are their effects still being felt today? Can individuals change history, or do global events transcend any one person? Does the imperialism of the past echo in the world of today? Whether your interest is migration, war, diplomacy, slavery or many other areas, by studying for a BA (Hons) in History and International Relations you’ll be able to look through the lenses of both a historian and an international relations theorist. You will find that these are highly complementary views of the world, but each will give you a subtly different understanding.
Modules
Sample modules: Africa & the World, Conflict in the Modern World, Migration and the Settler World 1600 - 1914 To view the full list of modules for this course and further information on degree content, please visit the Brunel website: brunel.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/History-and-International-Relations-BA
Assessment method
You’ll be assessed by a combination of coursework and time-limited assessments, but most of your time will be spent in private study and reading. In your final year you will produce a final dissertation on a subject of your choice under the guidance of a dissertation supervisor.
