    History and International Relations BA (Hons)

    About

    Do you wish to understand the challenges facing us at a global level? On this course, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge to become a world citizen with a global and critical perspective.

    The course combines two distinctive yet complementary approaches to the question of developments at the global level:

    • studying International Relations, you’ll analyse global structures by exploring their history, the nature of the global economy, and build a particular focus on the themes of war and security
    • studying History, you’ll focus on global history, and the ways that different regions of the world are connected through the movements of people, goods and ideas, through trade, shared transnational cultures, migration, and war and conflict.
    Sussex has pioneered the historical study of international relations and developed new approaches to history, making it the ideal place for you to explore contemporary global issues.
