Course summary

This course is for those who have a strong interest in History, Politics and global affairs. Students will learn why the world is as it is and how it is has been shaped by the past. Students should have a passion for enquiry and argument and an insatiable appetite for reading. They need an analytical, questioning mind, and the confidence to express their opinions in class discussion, backed up by historical evidence.
