History is more than the study of the past. It is the process of recording, reconstructing and interpreting the past through the investigation of a variety of sources and interpretations.

The course provides both structure and flexibility, fostering an understanding of major historical events in a global context. It requires students to make comparisons between similar and dissimilar solutions to common human situations, whether they be political, economic or social. It invites comparisons between, but not judgements of, different cultures, political systems and national traditions.
