About History & International Studies

History & International Studies is a dynamic programme that equips students with deep knowledge of historical events, diplomatic relations, foreign policy, and global political systems. Students examine African history, Nigerian political development, international law, conflict resolution, and the workings of multilateral organisations such as the United Nations and the African Union. The programme sharpens critical thinking, research, and analytical writing skills highly valued across several sectors. Graduates pursue rewarding careers in diplomacy and the foreign service through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, journalism, policy research, academia, and international development organisations. Those interested in legal practice often proceed to law school, while others find opportunities within the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, civil society organisations, and government ministries handling policy and intergovernmental relations.
