To support your academic study we organise a programme of extra-curricular opportunities to enhance your understanding and foster a love of the subject. In the Spring, the Department hosts its annual ‘History Lecture’ for RGS students as well as students from around the county and we welcome one of the country’s leading historians to this event. In addition, the Department organises numerous visits to support the curriculum and in the past we have travelled to a wide variety of destinations including New York, Istanbul, Gallipoli, Berlin and Krakow.

Admissions tutors and employers recognise the skills which History can give students, such as how to: - gather and use information - construct and sustain an argument - make balanced judgements - understand other people and other situations - form and express your own opinion - understand the world in which you live.
