History and Global Sustainable Development - BASc (Hons)

University of Warwick

On our BASc History and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) degree you will apply your passion for History to answering the pressing questions of our time by studying it in combination with GSD.Why is wealth distributed unequally throughout the world? How has the movement of people, resources, capital, and ideas shaped the global challenges of today? What role did the colonial empires play in this? To study History and GSD is to ask these questions. You will investigate and interpret the past, focusing your interests on Early Modern (between 1500 and 1750) and Modern history (1750 onwards). Meanwhile, you will apply the skills and content of your historical analysis to the present-day challenges of climate change, social justice, and food security.This transdisciplinary approach encourages you to consider issues from a diverse array of perspectives, to think creatively and to embrace new opinions from your peers. You can enhance your skills and studies through optional work placements, study abroad, and certificates.
