What the college says
“It’s just about studying old stuff isn’t it? What use will that be to me?” Well, there is much more to it than that. Studying History gives you the background to the issues and events that make today’s headlines. History also helps you to understand people’s motives, attitudes, beliefs and behaviour. History is a guide not only to the past but also to the present and the future.
