History

We make sense of the world around us by referring to the past. A systematic study of history develops this understanding in ways that contribute to perceptions of our own place in the world. Studying history also gives you vital and important skills in areas such as:

• oral and written communication
• interpretation of evidence
• effective research
• detecting bias
• critical thinking
