The Bachelor of Arts (History and Global Politics) focuses on the global components of politics and history. It contextualises Australia’s domestic politics within the broader currents of regional and global politics. It will be useful for all students with an interest in how the world works, particularly those studying journalism, law, business or social and economic policy. Graduates will develop research and project management skills enabling them to pursue further learning in honours and higher degree research or postgraduate studies in teaching.

 

Students will study a range of global politics and history courses that cover topics such as framing global politics through film and documentaries; global aid and development; the politics of environmental change in Australia and Asia; world history trends and transformations; Global Power in the Indo-Pacific Region; marginalisation in world affairs; power and resistance; and the US in world affairs.

The study of both history and global politics within this program illuminates the patterns and processes that have defined and delineated our societies over time and allows us to analyse and predict events in our contemporary world.
