History

The study of History provides students with the ability to analyse complex concepts and problems, to make judgements on cause and consequence and to learn the skills of accurate and effective communication. History is a challenging academic subject that opens doors to many career paths. As a facilitating subject, History is a desirable option for anyone considering studying at a Russell Group University. 

Students with an A Level in History can go on to work in almost any area. History helps to develop the transferrable skills that can be used in management positions. It often leads to careers in Law, Accountancy, Business Management, the Police, Retail, the Armed Forces, Journalism, and Broadcasting. One famous historian became President of the USA!
