What the college says

History is inescapable. It studies the past and the legacies of the past in the present. It connects things through time and encourages its students to take a long view of such connections. The study of history is the study of our world and the people in it. The study of history will help you to develop skills of analysis and interpretation; be able to weigh up often contradictory evidence, to distinguish and assess different approaches to the past, to develop your own line of interpretation and to construct and defend an argument - coherently and convincingly. These skills are invaluable in many jobs and so studying history gives a broad range of career options.
