This degree enables you to shape your study according to your strengths, interests and career ambitions. Combining these two subjects gives your degree an international and industry perspective that will make you stand out in the graduate employment market.
Our course combinations are designed so that what you learn in one subject will complement and enhance what you learn in the other. In your final year you can choose to either split your time evenly between your two subjects, or to specialise in one. Our flexible curriculum has been designed to create some amazing opportunities for you too. Your second year of study is divided into two semesters that enables you to take part in optional work placements or go on an international exchange.
By choosing History and International Relations you’ll enjoy the freedom to choose from a wide range of optional modules, depending on your own preferences and interests. These two subjects have natural synergy and will give you a unique insight into the world events that have shaped our lives and how international relationships, beliefs and cultures continue to shape the world we live in.
