Karl Marx. Through History, you will learn to appreciate and weigh up different points of view, examine the impact of decisions and explore an individual’s motivations. These analytical skills support a wide range of career paths such as those in law, politics or management, and History is regularly cited by admissions tutors at competitive universities as good preparation for their courses.
