This new and exciting two-year programme is taught by the National University of Singapore and the London School of Economics. It’s designed for students interested in studying Asia from an international perspective. The programme is also well-suited for those interested in decentering international history by studying it from an Asian perspective.During your first year at NUS, you’ll be introduced to a wide range of contemporary historical methods, focusing on major historians, current debates about historical practice, theoretical history, and historical interpretation.This is complemented by a choice of electives covering modern Southeast Asia, Singapore, modern East Asia, China, America, and modern Europe. You’ll also study topics like imperialism and empire, the Cold War, military history, cultural history, and oral history.In your second year at LSE, you can choose from a wide selection of International History courses ranging from the Ottoman Empire to twentieth-century Southeast Asia. Thematically, courses cover everything from war and peace, to the history of race and gender. While you’ll have the option to study European, North American, South American, and African History, this degree allows you to centre your studies on Asian history in all its rich variety.These Asian history courses can be further complemented by specialist options on Asia from the Departments of Economic History, Government, Anthropology, and Geography.Throughout the programme, you’ll engage with the latest academic research in the field, and you’ll undertake your own research-based term papers and third term dissertation. The dissertation is one of the highlights of this degree, where you’ll pursue specialist research on a subject with an Asian focus under the supervision of a leading expert in the field.Previous graduates of this double degree have gone on to work in academia and research, education and teaching, and the public sector in the UK or abroad. Others work for international organisations and NGOs, charities, as well as a wide range of other sectors, including journalism and media.
