Course summary

Apart from being fascinating, History is useful. Employers who see that you have a qualification in History immediately know certain things about you. They will know that you have skills which, learnt through History, can be applied to all sorts of situations. They know that you understand how people tick, what motivates them, what they think and feel. You are also able to gather, read and analyse different kinds of information and have learned to express yourself in a variety of ways. Our history course aims to deepen your knowledge and understanding of topics you may have studied in the past, as well as help you learn about new issues and periods. The concepts of causation, consequence, continuity and change and similarity and difference run through the entire course, and help you to analyse major threads in British, European and world history, such as radical protest and political extremism.
