The History (International) MA at Kingston focuses on relations between states in the nineteenth and twentieth century, with a particular emphasis on politics, diplomacy and war. The course looks beyond Europe and North America to analyse how relations between states have undergone (and are still undergoing) change.
The course will appeal to students with a first degree in history, politics, sociology or economics (or any combination of these subjects).
