What do you get
from studying History?
Learning about people - how they
interact, the motives and
emotions that can tear people apart
into rival factions or help them to work
together for a common cause
(useful knowledge for team-building at
work!).
Learning about countries, societies and cultures - so many of today's conflicts and alliances have their roots in the
past; how can you negotiate with, trade successfully with, or report on a
country if you know nothing of its history?
Learning to locate and sift facts - to identify truth and
recognise myth, propaganda and downright lies (useful in
every aspect of life!)
Presenting what you've learned in a way that
makes sense to others - whether
in graphs, essays or
reports - and having the
confidence to defend your
findings.
Where will studying History take me?
Historical skills are a useful and welcome asset in any kind of career where you need to handle and process information, and make decisions…
Clerical, legal, professional, educational, public service, management, business, academia, military, marketing, etc etc etc…
Universities love it!
