Course summary

History is a superb subject for challenging the mind. It develops your ability to articulate your thoughts, marshal them into a logical argument and support a plausible conclusion. You will learn about vital periods in both British and foreign history as well as honing the skills of analysing historical sources. History is a rigorous, demanding but incredibly rewarding course, suitable for any capable student with an enquiring mind, a willingness to read independently and an ability to communicate ideas clearly in writing.
