History and International Relations Bachelor of Arts (Honours) is a joint honours program which will allow students to gain first-class exposure to both subject matters in equal measures. By choosing to study Loughborough University's History and International Relations Bachelor of Arts (Honours) course, students will acquire a broader range of skills when compared with a normal single honours degree, and enjoy the option of specializing as they progress through the course.
The historical component of the course spans the period from 1600 to the present, focusing mostly on the modern era. Its subject matter includes Britain and mainland Europe, but extends further afield to North America, the British Empire, Soviet Russia, South Asia and China. It begins with broad survey courses, proceeds with the history of individual countries or themes and culminates in specialist case studies.
The International Relations component enables students to understand how key global factors have responded to international political, economic and social challenges since the Second World War.
