What the college says

It is difficult to avoid the impact of History in our modern world. We are living with the consequences of past events every day. A good historical education is essential to understand your world. Employers and Universities know students of History have developed a number of skills that can be applied to any situation. They know that you are able to gather information from a range of sources and that you understand different points of view and can detect bias and propaganda. They also know that you are able to communicate effectively both orally and in the written word and that you can reach a balanced judgement through detailed analysis. The research, analytical and presentational skills you learn in History are precisely the skills you need to operate in the world of work.
