Course overview

History is central to any meaningful understanding of the present political, social and moral world, and is therefore vital in a democratic and open society. In this course, you'll look back into history as you explore ideas about human action.

You'll learn about the major categories of power in the modern world, including military, diplomatic, political, economic, religious, cultural, normative and affective power. You will also develop a solid understanding of the role Asia has played in the history of the modern world. Through a choice of elective units, you can study the history of Australia, Europe or Asia, on topics which interest you.

When you graduate, you'll have the literary, analytical and communication skills you need for a broad range of careers in both public and private sectors, including roles in foreign affairs, journalism, teaching and the public service.
