The Modern History and International Relations programme covers the history of the British Isles, Asia and the Americas and provides students with a detailed understanding of the international political system, key issues and an appreciation of the global dynamics at work. The programme is delivered through lectures, tutorials and seminars. You will usually receive nine hours minimum scheduled contact time with your teachers every week. Every degree involves choices; options will be available and if first choices are not secured then the alternative will be as good. All Arts and Humanities programmes include independent learning which requires initiative and hard work. We will challenge you with demanding teaching and assessment. Assessment includes essay, coursework and examination, presentations and a dissertation.     On completion of this course our students have progressed to a broad range of work sectors including education, recruitment, marketing, management, and heritage, working for companies such as: Mercedes Benz; English Heritage; and St Fagans National History Museum. Other recent graduates have progressed to postgraduate courses in: MA Modern History; MA History; MA Early Modern History; MA Communication, Media Practice and PR.
