Course summary

History provides a genuine education. In a world dominated by training and statistics, history provides the student with the perfect preparation for a full engagement in all that the future may have to offer. History is more relevant now than perhaps ever before – without it we may never understand the world in which we live. History fuels and satisfies curiosity. It can instruct, excite and perplex, but above all else it challenges individuals to think about the world in a different light and to begin to think independently and intelligently about issues that have interested the greatest minds of the age. A good historian is an argumentative soul. The core of the subject is not the routine memory of facts and dates, but the ability to present a coherent, convincing and even entertaining opinion – at A-level, we are not interested in the mindless regurgitation of information. History graduates have one of the highest rates of graduate employment, pursuing a wide range of career paths. The possession of a history degree opens many doors as the skills developed are highly valued by many management and business communities. Historian are erudite, informed, confident and sophisticated in their learning and their approach to work.
