The past shapes our world. It determines the constraints and the possibilities of our aspirations, individually and as a society. As more than black and white facts, history is a dynamic discipline built on analysis, interpretation and debate. Through the study of our records, you’ll develop a cultural vocabulary that examines humanity through events, recorded perceptions and cultural context. History stretches across all cultures, environments and eras as a constant consideration that can be called upon for insight into how we got here, and how we will develop in future. Look back to look forward with a beacon of yesterday’s knowledge for tomorrow’s biggest ideas. A history degree is not limited to a single career path. It can lead to a variety of professions. History graduates find jobs with governments, in education, technology and administration. You will cultivate the skills that employers are looking for in communication, decision-making, critical thinking, problem-solving, self-learning, working with groups, leadership, global competency, ethics and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world settings.
