History is a rigorous, interesting, and highly respected academic subject. History offers a unique perspective on why the world has developed as it has and enables humankind to understand the context of the modern world. It is not simply dates and facts – it is the exciting study of what motivated people centuries before to act as they did. The consequences of their actions continue to have an impact long after they live. The study of History develops your skills of critical understanding and analysis. The skill is being able to separate out the significant from the irrelevant, the crucial from the important. You will use historical sources as evidence and develop your own ideas and beliefs about why certain events happened. As new evidence is discovered, your views and interpretations can be challenged and changed. You will be taught how to write effective, sustained, and relevant essays.
