The Department of Politics and International Relations offers expertise across applied political theory, comparative politics, public policy analysis, conflict, security, strategy, and international relations. You will have the opportunity to gain a broad overview of the subject through a wide range of specialist core and optional modules, which cover topical issues.Combining history and international relations will deepen your understanding of both: concepts from politics and international relations will help you to analyse historical events and processes, while your historical studies will give you an essential background to contemporary politics.For more information, please visit the programme page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/history-ug/ba-history-and-international-relations
