History allows you to not only develop knowledge of the past, but also a broader understanding of the human condition and human nature. It is a discipline that requires the precision of a scientist, the persistence of a detective and the imagination of a novelist. The study of history should teach you to ask the right questions, think critically, analyse dispassionately, and communicate with power and clarity. It also should empower you to better understand the human condition: who we are, where we came from, where we are going.

Systematically analyse complex situations and past events for problem solving in the present;

Think critically and evaluate the quality of information;
