BA (Hons) Modern History and International Relations

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

You obtain a thorough grounding in the fields of modern history and international relations and will explore how these disciplines influence one another.

You take introductory modules in international relations and politics alongside your history modules in your first year and continue to combine modules in modern history and international relations in your second and third years. There is a range of options to choose from in both departments and you choose to write your final-year dissertation in either politics or history.

In your history modules, you investigate the intersection of the ideas, cultures, and economics of different people over the last 200 years of western history. You’re introduced to the relationship between today’s ‘modern’ world, which assumes the significance of political liberty, global interdependence and sexuality, and events and ideas that originated in the 18th and 19th centuries.

This course should also interest you if you want to understand how the international system works, how decisions are made, and how lines are drawn. You’ll gain a foundation in politics, while the study of international relations develops your research and critical analysis skills while teaching you methods of analysis and giving you awareness of the world system.
