BA International Relations / History

at Aberystwyth University

The International Relations / History degree at Aberystwyth University is the perfect combination for those seeking to understand the evolution of the political, social and economic world we live in today. It blends the expertise of two departments - our Department of International Politics and our Department of History and Welsh History - giving you the choice from a range of modules and areas of study.

On the International Relations modules, you will reflect on key questions such as: how the international political structures that govern us evolved and why they took the form they did; how relations between states, societies, and peoples have changed over time; and what the central factors shaping those developments have been. On the history modules, you will study the medieval through to the contemporary period and a broad range of themes such as power, violence, migration, gender and ideas.
