History is highly valued by universities and employers alike; it gives us the understanding and skills necessary to comprehend and analyse the world around us. Students will learn to use information effectively, weigh up conflicting evidence before making important decisions and learn to be analytical and critical when considering information presented to them. History will allow them to debate – expressing a clear personal point of view and to understand how and why humans have behaved as they have – and maybe to learn from their mistakes.
