History gives students the opportunity to study a balanced curriculum, including studies of British, South African and American history, and modern and early modern time periods. They will learn how to make informed, evidence-based judgments and to evaluate historical sources. There are many transferable skills and historians go on to study a wide range of subjects at university. Students will learn how to analyse sources, weigh up evidence, evaluate interpretations and develop strong written and verbal arguments. Research, independence, analysis, communication, time management, ICT, working with others, problem solving, planning and organization, drive and determination are all skills history students should develop.
