  Final Year BA (History and Globalisation Studies)
  The Final Year of the BA History & Globalisation Studies consolidates and broadens your understanding of the main themes of the programme. The aim is for you to continue to develop your skills of analysing how modern society is structured; the links between culture and politics; why they matter; and how and why our world developed in this way. The Final Year programme is also designed to help you develop the skills that you will need in the subsequent years of the degree. Students combine a major in History with a minor in Globalisation Studies and continue to follow the additional inter-disciplinary minor that you selected in First Year.
