History helps us to understand change and how the society we live in came to be.
History qualifications often explore a range of time periods and locations, covering ancient, modern, local and global history. You'll develop valuable research and writing skills, and learn how to evaluate source materials.
Qualifications in this subject are highly versatile, with History graduates going into politics, law, business, accountancy, international development or further study for careers in the culture or heritage industries, including museums, art galleries and libraries.
