History

Where can history take you?

The simple answer is anywhere you want to go. Aside from the obvious reasons for studying history it’s about understanding and studying ourselves and how and why we have reached this point in time as we are. History will give you the opportunity to go on to university and/or the world of work. It is considered an academic subject and carries the understanding that history students are bright, hardworking and determined thinkers. It will enable you to branch out into law, politics, journalism, research, a TV career – you could be the next TV historian - or even teaching.
