History

Course summary

History explains the world around us today. Its study offers a unique opportunity to research past societies and cultures in depth, while at the same time allowing you to make sense of current global dynamics and events. In our information-drenched age the critical thinking and willingness to challenge and question at the heart of the subject are in short supply. For this reason History provides ideal training for a wide range of careers, in particular the law and journalism. An understanding and awareness of history is vital for making sense of the present, and indeed the future, of our world.
