What the college says

The History course aims to deepen your understanding of the world in which you live, whilst developing skills of analysis, evaluation and research. Understanding the past and its patterns enhances one's ability to analyse the present and the future. Few human activities are devoid of historical analysis. Doctors cannot make an effective diagnosis without first taking a medical history. Sports coaches and managers develop successful game plans by analysing the historical behaviour of their opponents. Judges and lawyers draft arguments and write briefs based on precedent. CEOs cannot reposition their companies effectively without understanding market and sales history and banks cannot loan to borrowers without taking credit history.
