Course Overview
The BA in Conflict and War will introduce students to a range of subjects and topics related to war, warfare and the history of conflict. The course is wide-ranging in its scope and will include studies drawn from the ancient world, the medieval period, the early modern and the modern. The programme is able to draw upon a broad collection of expertise from across snumerous subjects which include Philosophy, History, Ancient History, Archaeology, English, Theology and Medieval Studies, to create an innovative, broadly-based and interdisciplinary course.
Running through the programme will be several subject threads. For example, the ethics of war and its nature, including various theories surrounding what is warfare, will be introduced to students at level 4 in the module Ethics and Theories of Warfare, then explored further at level 5 in the History and Theory of Genocide and then at level 6 in Terrorism. Similarly the literature of war will be introduced in the first year in the module War in History, then in the second year with War literature and then Wars of the Roses at level 6.
Thus running through each level is an analysis of war during the ancient, medieval and ancient and modern period that comes at the topic from a different direction and perspective. In other words, the programme will offer a rich, broad-based and inter-disciplinary engagement with the history, nature and ethics of conflict.
