Summary
**Why Lancaster?**
- Study the only degree in the UK to combine international and military history at Master’s level
- Gain a truly global perspective with modules that cover Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East
- Join our supportive research community and work alongside scholars who are experts in their field
- Engage with world-leading specialists, as well as politicians, diplomats and military leaders through Lancaster University’s Centre for War and Diplomacy
- Boost your expertise and prepare to take your career in a new direction.
From the rise and fall of great powers to peace-making and weaponry, join us to explore the major themes of international and military history from the Middle Ages to the modern day. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready for exciting opportunities in research, the Civil Service and more.
**Discuss, debate and discover**
Study a course that uniquely combines two fascinating areas. The field of international history is transforming as it moves away from a western-centric perspective, while military history covers the different dimensions of war. You’ll go beyond the strategy and battles, looking at political, economic and social factors.
Our international outlook means this course suits students from anywhere in the world. You’ll explore the making of war and peace on the global stage – one day you could be discussing the increasing militarisation of the Asia-Pacific, the next you could be debating the military resurgence of Russia.
**Unpicking the past**
This course draws upon our History Department's expertise, as well as research from our Centre for War and Diplomacy, which confronts today’s challenges by examining the past.
Analysing data and developing arguments will be a key part of your postgraduate studies. So, as well as learning from our research, you’ll carry out your own with support from our experts. Past students have looked at everything from the history of battleships to civil wars in Africa.

Summary
From the rise and fall of great powers to the treatment of non-combatants, from diplomacy and peace-making to strategy and doctrine, and from wars of propaganda to weaponry and intelligence, explore the major themes of international and military history across the world from the Middle Ages to today.
Recent development in geo-politics – from the increasing militarisation of the Asia-Pacific to the military resurgence of Russia – have led to a renaissance in the study of warfare and relations between states, as academics, students, governments, and the general public seek to understand the making and conduct of war and peace on the global stage. At the same time, the field of international history has been transformed, moving away from a western-centric perspective and a focus on high politics to integrate the perspective of the Global South, while also focusing on ‘lesser’ political actors and people. Military History, meanwhile, has grown from its original focus on strategy, battles, and military leaders to incorporate the study of the political, economic, societal, and cultural dimensions of war. These disciplinary developments are embedded in Lancaster's Masters in International and Military History, which draws from the History Department's particular expertise in war and inter-state relations from the medieval to the present day, in order to explore these themes across time.
Whether you are seeking to develop professional expertise or pursue a research career, you will have the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills needed to engage with key debates and advance new arguments, informed by a global perspective and a broad chronological understanding.
This Masters programmes provides the opportunity to:
- Study the only degree in the UK to combine international and military history at Masters level
- Pursue your interest across a broad chronological range, from the medieval to the present day
- Gain a truly global perspective, across Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East
- Develop expertise and skills that could enhance your career potential in a range of sectors or prepare you for doctoral research
- Work with scholars who are expert in the fields of international and military history, and whose teaching is fuelled by the latest research
- Through our guest speaker programme, to engage with the work of other leading scholars, as well as diplomats, politicians, and military leaders
