Program details

Overview

This English-language Bachelor's pairs the study of history with modern languages and international relations to examine the origins of today's globalised world. Teaching moves beyond Eurocentric perspectives, analysing conflicts and global power dynamics from a range of viewpoints and paying attention to marginalised voices and alternative frameworks. Small-scale seminars and close supervision support research projects in which students develop and defend their own original arguments.
