Study Overview
Study Overview
History is about change. It is the subject that contributes the most to the broadening of the imagination. One of the purposes of a study of history is to help students transcend their own immediate experience and gain an understanding about how humanity has evolved and developed. History teaches critical thinking, something we all need plenty of today. It looks at people over times past and present in different societies, noticing and explaining their attitudes, beliefs and behaviours, and interpreting their reactions to the various pressures, conditions and events that induce change.

Studying History can lead to a whole range of courses and careers including archaeology, anthropology, history, sociology and politics. It can help in all professions that require you to understand the complexities of people and their actions including teaching, nursing, counseling, Law, management and business.
In addition to these pathways, History also offers students the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills that can be applied to all areas of life – understanding complex information, making meaning from disconnected events and ideas, figuring out problems with limited information, interpreting evidence to form an argument. These skills will allow students to develop confidence in their ability to think as well as coming to a better understanding of their own view of the world.
