From defining historical events through time, to understanding contemporary world politics and how political systems operate, you will examine key approaches to the study of international relations. The blend of both subjects enables you to learn how to apply history to address urgent issues facing the world today and consider the influential factors in building a better world through international organisations and law. In a global framework, you will explore economic, political, social and cultural approaches to History and grapple with a wide range of themes including race, environmental change, gender, security and global development. You will delve into world politics and uncover the past and its key influences in shaping societies today, developing advanced skills in critical thinking and effective communication through debate and public speaking. Our programme allows you to participate in real-world opportunities such as a crisis simulation, model United Nations and activist strategies for change. This hands-on approach enables you to build key skills in research and problem-solving, with consideration of real issues facing individuals. This will be valuable to your career and help you to prepare for the workplace environment and tasks.
