Course summary

There are few other subjects which can claim to have such direct relevance to what is happening in the world today: helping you understand conflict in Syria, the impact of Brexit and EU migration, the consequences of Hurricane Irma and other natural disasters, Catalan separatism, fracking, city growth, global poverty… the list is endless. There is an excellent blend of the more traditional elements with plenty of depth to really understand the topics, along with some very contemporary units that will help you make sense of the world today.
