From the resurgence of humanist ideals during the Renaissance onward, academic institutions have positioned historical and political studies as fundamental to understanding human nature.
The History and Political Thought program centers on four core courses that guide students through humanity's modern era (post-1500).
While European history features prominently, the curriculum encourages comparative analysis with Asian, African, and American historical developments. The program concludes with a capstone course in the final term, examining various historical methodologies and theories.
Students can choose from diverse electives spanning European, American, Australian, and Asian historical and political studies, including thematic courses that traverse different periods and regions.
