The aim in History is to stimulate a lively, interesting, and well-informed knowledge of the past. Understanding the past develops skills of analysis and debate that are valuable to anyone wishing to seek the truth and think clearly and intelligently. History teaches that there are rarely clear cut or simple answers to questions, encouraging the interrogation of evidence and the formation of considered, independent judgements. It also offers students the opportunity to acquire and improve many of the key skills which have been identified as a priority by universities and employers.
