What the college says

Everything happening around us today has been influenced by and is a result of what has happened in the past. History can also help us predict what could happen in the future. One of the most flexible of qualifications, History provides an excellent pathway to degrees such as History, Law, English and Philosophy, and beyond that to a range of interesting careers. This intellectually rigorous course is an excellent way for students to develop highly sought after and transferable skills. These include being able to effectively communicate complex ideas, the ability to research, analyse and evaluate information and the capacity to make substantiated judgements, all whilst developing independent work skills. The History department runs a USA trip to Washington, Philadelphia and New York. We also take students to visit various exhibition visits as appropriate to the course.
