We study History in order to engage with the past, to ask questions about those who have come before us, to understand how humans have lived with each other and in their different environments throughout time, and to learn that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. At HWSF, the Department of History offers a wide and varied syllabus and countless opportunities for the extra-curricular study of related disciplines. History Society has seen presentations on Ancient Egypt, the Byzantines, Machiavelli, Trade Routes in the 4th Century AD and Roman Mythology! We also invite you to think about your own view of how the past should be studied and interpreted; what do you think of G.K. Chesterton’s comments above on the Ancient Empire of Rome? Studying History at HWSF is an excellent basis for taking an Arts or Humanities degree at university, which in turn can lead to careers in the City, Law, Government and a whole host of other related disciplines. Analytical skills are valuable in every walk of life, alongside the ability to choose relevant and significant data to evaluate key questions and themes. History seeks to reward you not just with the knowledge, but the skills to take your future forward, wherever that may be.
