Why should I study History? History is a subject for curious students with enquiring minds. It teaches us how things happen, and why they happened. There is not one history, but many and, as a history student, you will build up a picture of the past and become skilled at interpreting the evidence which has been left behind. You will develop empathy and an understanding of the lives of others as you study a wide variety of cultures and societies different to our own.

It is ideal for students who: • have an interest in the way the world has developed through the ages • enjoy investigation and discovery • enjoy debate and putting forward a well-argued case • wish to improve their analytical skills • want to study a subject which encourages them to consider evidence and make up their own minds
