Department of History and International Studies

Greetings from the Department of History and International Studies. The Department offers to students, a variety of courses in history and international relations with the aim of inculcating in them a high sense of judgement and discernment in the management of human affairs and the ability to translate challenges to opportunities. The knowledge of the fact that we are preparing our students for leadership positions in the future informs our devotion to holistic training, which involves a blend of moral discipline with academics. This is done to ensure that we turn out graduates that are courteous, cultured and disciplined men and women of integrity which our society needs.   

In order to broaden the horizon of our students and give them an edge in the labour market which is becoming increasingly competitive, we expose them to field experience within and outside Africa. Apart from giving them the practical dimension of some of the knowledge acquired in the classroom, the visits to international organisations and historical monuments in other countries help our students to get acquainted with the cultures and people of other clime. This undoubtedly goes a long way to prepare them for their future roles as seasoned administrators and diplomats.

The Department of History and International studies also offers postgraduate programmes in History and International Studies as well as Masters Degree in Diplomatic Studies. With this, our undergraduate students have the assurance of moving beyond the Bachelor degree without much ado. Our crop of intellectually cerebral and dedicated faculties are always prepared to make your stay in Babcock University a unique experience.
