International relations scholars ask questions about how the world works today. Historians decode the past to make sense of the present. When studied together, these complementary disciplines can give you the fullest understanding of global politics: past, present and future. Our BA International Relations and Modern History with a Placement Year course offers a thrilling journey across time and into the heart of world affairs. You’ll normally spend nine to twelve months of your third year in a placement, gaining invaluable work experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice. At UEA, you’ll explore current global political institutions, events and issues, from how international organisations work, to the causes of war and to global economic crises. At the same time, you’ll establish a ‘long view’ of the history of global politics that has given rise to these current situations. You’ll examine how the contemporary international system of separate states has roots going back more than three hundred years, and how current challenges such as international cooperation on fighting climate change, competition between world powers and international conflicts across the globe from Europe to the Asia Pacific are deeply rooted in history. The two disciplines of International Relations and History are taught by experts across two Schools at UEA, both of which are renowned for the quality of their teaching and research. Our International Relations with Modern History with a Placement Year course will prepare you for a variety of career paths in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. Your personal adviser and dedicated School career adviser will work with you to provide guidance and support to ensure you have access to the right opportunities to obtain the knowledge and skills you need to pursue your passion and make a difference. We also offer exciting opportunities to take part in study trips, internships and additional placements, as well as an extended period of study abroad.
