Working closely with experienced historians, youll have opportunities to study topics such as nationalism, state-building, and inter-state relations; the history of war and peace; religious and ethnic conflict; trauma and memory; and issues of globalization in the present that can only be understood by looking to the past. For example, youll learn how the British Empire helped to create the NHS, why Britain voted to stay in the EU in 1975 and why Margaret Thatcher became the first pop star of British international relations. With a global outlook, our teaching is informed by exciting historical research. As part of the course, youll participate in field trips to historical sites and get your hands dirty by digging into local archives, as well as conducting original research on a topic of your choosing. Studying cutting-edge techniques such as digital and oral history will give you new insights and further boost your employment prospects.
