History

Course summary

History makes you valuable - to universities and employers. The bundle of skills, knowledge and attitudes that historical study delivers is highly attractive in both education and industry. History makes sense of today's world. It demands that you use your intelligence to make sense of the complex forces that have come together to create our local, national and global situations. History transforms you into a researcher and writer who can organise and communicate ideas and arguments; who can talk confidently about the past, and who is ready to challenge their thinking and that of others. History opens doors on the whole magnificent mess that is the human past.
