This programme offers a comprehensive study of social, cultural, and political history from the early modern period to the present day, with a focus on the British Isles, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and India. You will engage with primary sources from the outset, analysing diverse historical evidence including written and oral materials, maps, visual images, films, art, and music. The curriculum encourages critical reflection on how historical interpretations are shaped by sources and media, and examines the role of historians in contemporary public life. Alongside history, you will explore International Relations, focusing on the dynamics of conflict, cooperation, and the increasing influence of non-state actors in global affairs. The course aims to equip you with the analytical tools needed to understand complex interrelationships between nations and the processes of trade, political, and cultural interaction.
