What will I learn?
In this course, you will examine the foundations of civilisation and culture, tracing human development from hunter-gatherer societies to modern globalisation. You will study the world's major civilisations, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China, and the Americas, analysing their political systems, religions, and cultural achievements. You will explore how trade networks like the Silk Road and Indian Ocean routes spread ideas and technologies across continents. You will also investigate world religions, the Axial Age, colonialism, the Enlightenment, and 20th-century cultural upheavals. By the end, you will be equipped to analyse cultural conflict, heritage preservation, and identity in the contemporary world.
