You will be given the opportunity to argue and debate issues in class and to get to grips with the lives of ordinary and extraordinary people. By the end of the course you will be able to weigh up evidence and communicate complex ideas effectively. The study of factors that shape these changes such as economic changes, social changes and political changes are themes which occur in the time periods studied.
