About this course

Study BA History and International Relations at Queen Mary University of London. Explore global history, politics, and diplomacy while developing analytical and research skills. Make sense of the modern world by learning how the past influences international politics in the present.

Explore history and international relations to encounter diverse societies, explain cultural changes and explore the issues causing tension between countries. We’ve designed this course to cover key areas such as the state system, security and globalisation. You'll study through the lens of historical and contemporary examples, from the Haitian Revolution to the global financial crisis, while learning how to apply theory to the real world.

At the same time, you’ll expand your knowledge as you explore different histories and perspectives from Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States. Learn from experts who care about providing impactful research. Our historians carry out ground-breaking research in the archives and bring that to the public in their prize-winning books, popular documentaries, and engagement with media and society.

Through events, conferences, and our research centres, you’ll hear from high-profile people working in Westminster and Whitehall and be part of conversations on the latest thinking in the area.
