A liberal arts degree gives students the freedom to focus on the subjects that most interest them. Students will concentrate on a major area of study while maintaining a breadth of learning spanning the arts, humanities and social sciences.  

The International History Major

The International History Major offers an in-depth insight into global history. By focusing on humankind’s shared heritage, this major aims to shine a light on what unites – rather than divides – human beings across the world.     

Students will touch on a variety of different national histories including British history, the politics and cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East, USA’s influence on global politics and the historical development of China.     

Taking a thematic rather than chronological approach, students will develop an understanding of how different cultures and civilisations connect, interact and change throughout history.     

Students will evaluate historical evidence, compare and contrast opposing viewpoints and draw their own conclusions about the world.

Elective modules will help students understand the breadth of this discipline and also give students a broad skillset.   

Options to learn a language and study abroad at one of Regent's international partners will help expand learning and global outlook.   

This degree will develop students into highly employable individuals who are able to pursue a career in fields as diverse as politics, publishing, archive and museum work, academia, and journalism.
