The philosophy of the Department for designing this programme is to widen students’ experience and develop their qualities of perception and judgement. Arousing in the students, a sense of the past, an awareness of the development of differing values, systems and societies and the inculcation of critical yet tolerant personal attitudes. To make students understand and acknowledge the reciprocal relationship of History and International Studies as a discipline with other disciplines and the importance of such influence on their experience of the subject.
