Brunel's History and International Relations combined degree is ideal for those students who want to not only understand contemporary global affairs, but also want to know the events which have shaped the world we live in.

Why did wars occur? How to account for historical inequalities, and are their effects still being felt today? Can individuals change history, or do global events transcend any one person? Does the imperialism of the past echo in the world of today?

Whether students' interest is migration, war, diplomacy, slavery or many other areas, by studying for a BA (Hons) in History and International Relations they’ll be able to look through the lenses of both a historian and an international relations theorist. They will find that these are highly complementary views of the world, but each will give them a subtly different understanding.
