Course Content

The program emphasizes 'doing history', where students will consider how the use of sources and media representations inform our reconstructions of the past. Students will reflect critically on key debates in history, looking at how they have developed over time, and how they have shaped our understanding of the world. They will also learn how historians 'make' history and evaluate their roles in today's public life, media, and the heritage industry.

International Relations

International Relations is a key component of the program, focusing on the process by which two or more nations work together to establish trade links and interact politically, culturally, and economically. The program aims to help students develop skills and tools to make sense of these complex interrelationships, including conflict, cooperation, and the increased significance of non-state actors.
