Introduction "History is the only laboratory we have in which to test the consequences of thought." Etienne Gilson History isn't a subject that's stuck in the past. Far from it. Historical events have shaped society into what it is today. History helps you to understand the value and significance of world events in the past. In the process you'll gain a deeper understanding of social, cultural, religious and ethnic diversity. Knowing how people lived in the past helps us to understand why people act as they do today. Your A-level in History gives you knowledge and skills which will prepare you for higher education, and which are also useful in any career. Why History? Employers and universities value History very highly. The skills which are taught within the subject are very useful in work, study and life. Students who specialise in History could go on to become historical researchers, work in heritage organisations or become teachers.
