The History and Global Politics major will illuminate the patterns and processes that have shaped the societies over time and help students analyse and predict events in the contemporary world. Key areas of study include: framing global politics through film and documentaries; global aid and development; world history trends; Australia in the Asian Century; and marginalisation in world affairs. There is also an opportunity to study a portion of the degree overseas, as part of the University’s Hawke Ambassador Volunteer Experience Program. As part of this program, students will volunteer with an international non-government organisation (NGO), usually in an overseas destination.
