What the college says
“Those who do not study the past are condemned to repeat it” Historians are often asked: what is the use or relevance of studying History. Why on earth does it matter what happened long ago? The answer is that History is inescapable. It studies the past and the legacies of the past in the present. Far from being a ‘dead’ subject, it connects things through time and encourages its students to take a long view of such connections. The department has excellent resources and experienced teachers. This year marks the first teaching of a brand new History course. Students follow the challenging but well-rounded OCR specification and will be faced with investigating some of the most famous Historical events and figures over the last 500 years.
