History is a multi-faceted and varied subject that can take you in many directions. At one level you will learn about the Victorian city, the regulation of war, and the growth and development of Latin America but you will also discover a great deal more than this. The pursuit of history trains you to think in certain ways, to ask important questions, and it places you in the modern world. The pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake is a worthwhile and valuable thing that a University facilitates but it also enables you to grow personally. The art of history is telling persuasive stories and the skills associated with that will enable you to command attention beyond the classroom. Our graduates emerge as convincing, tenacious and resilient individuals ready to forge their way in the world.
