Key Summary
About: The Bachelor in History programme traces how Japan’s Meiji government in 1870 sent officials abroad to study, and how rapid absorption of Western academic practices aided Japan's modernization. The curriculum teaches you to ask who, what, where, when and why and encourages a broader view of history. By linking international relations, cause and effect across eras, and cultural interaction, you learn how past events shape the modern world.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work in education, museums, archives, cultural heritage, research, policy, journalism and communications roles, diplomacy, or public service using skills in historiography, archival methods and critical, cross-cultural analysis.
When studying history, it’s important to think about who, what, where, when, and why. Our curriculum enables students to answer these questions by taking a broader view of history. By understanding international relations, as well as the cause and effect of events from one era to the other, students begin to understand how history directly impacts them in the modern age. Many exciting experiences await those who wish to interact with cultures of the past, for those who do will gain the wisdom of today.
