History is a demanding academic discipline that covers wide ranging topics. You will study the history of a range of different periods and nations and analyse the political, social and economic trends and developments of these periods. This will enable you to develop a broad historical understanding. Students studying History are required to: ▪ Develop the ability to scrutinise and evaluate evidence ▪ Learn to prioritise the relative importance of events and individuals ▪ Develop and sustain critical arguments that utilise knowledge and language ▪ Nurture an awareness of cause and effect with respect to events and actions ▪ To gain a sense of oneself in the timeline of progress in human development History also encourages students to make ethical judgements and to develop skills in reasoning so that fact can be discerned from propaganda. However, alongside its broad academic attributes, history is a subject to be enjoyed as it provides a fascinating narrative and an archive of knowledge and human experience.
