What the college says

Studying the Subject - History is a fascinating subject in its own right. We hope students have enjoyed their GCSE courses and want to have the opportunity to study it further. History explains why the world is like it is today, and gives students an understanding of how societies deal with problems and opportunities. Just think of the News at the moment: financial meltdown; worries about European power; crisis in the Middle East; tense relations with Russia; the power of religion to cause conflict. All of these things have happened before, and by learning from the past we can understand how to deal with the present.
