The History Department’s curriculum intent is to encourage students to think critically about the world around them. To examine how the past shapes our modern world today and explore how their actions will affect the future. To develop our students to be become lifelong learners, where the key skills they learn in Humanities will equip them to adapt, flourish and succeed in an ever-changing world.
