Why study the History of War?
By studying the History of War, either as a single degree or as part of a wider History or Humanities degree, you will gain understanding of how peoples, cultures, technology and society interact over time.
Students of the History of War develop critical thinking and engage with a variety of ways of seeing and sources of information – helping you to think broadly, see differently, and approach some of the world's most difficult and pressing questions with a wealth of knowledge and understanding.
