BA (Hons) Contemporary Military and International History

This course helps you to expand your knowledge and understanding of many of the major trends relating to war and diplomacy over the last 200 years. Visiting speakers from Britain and abroad provide specialist guest lectures. A military history field trip during the first year is part of a range of possibilities which supplement the lectures and seminars.

The first year of studying this military and international history course at university will give you the opportunity to analyse the work of historians and political scientists, while also introducing you to the expectations of undergraduate study. You’ll meet your fellow students in your lectures and seminars, with the chance to take part in military history field trips.

As you move into the second and third year of your international history and military degree course, you’ll build upon your knowledge of the central themes of military and international history, placing them in their theoretical and historical contexts. You’ll choose from specialised modules designed to enable you to tailor your studies to your academic interests and career aspirations, accumulating in your final year dissertation project supervised by an academic member of staff in your chosen field.
