Course Description

BA Conflict, War and Society explores the various ways conflict and war have shaped societies throughout history, from the ancient period to the present day.

The programme takes a holistic approach to studying the impact of conflict in a range of chronological and geographical contexts. It includes modules that focus on major conflicts such as the World Wars, while also introducing students to broader topics such as civil disobedience, peace movements and the ethics of violence.

Students gain exposure to how war is studied in different academic disciplines, including ancient, medieval and modern history but also philosophy, media studies, archaeology and heritage studies. As such, the programme gives students a rounded appreciation of the history of warfare and its contemporary significance in the 21st-century world.
