History

Course summary

History requires you to absorb information and to juggle it, so as to answer a specific question. The 15th and 16th centuries are periods of massive change and of giant historical figures, while the study of 20th Century Germany presents burning moral questions of democracy and participation. The ability to write an essay answering a specific question and to make a logically analysed judgement is a skill which is useful anywhere. Outside of the classroom, we invite external speakers to present to students, as well as attending lectures in London.
