Introduction
Discover how conflict has shaped nations, societies and ideology throughout history. Explore what drives nations to go to war and people to fight them, and understand how technology and propaganda have changed not only warfare but societies as a whole.
Study war and its effects in the inspiring location of historic Canterbury, with Roman forts and Cold War nuclear bunkers on your doorstep, as well as the battlefields of the First and Second World Wars close by.
Cover hundreds of years of history, or focus on particular eras that fascinate you. Military History is so much more than just battle tactics; you'll delve into history from the fifth century to the present day, and develop an understanding of the wider social, ethical and political contexts of warfare, and how these shape our world today.
