Why You Should Study History GCSE
History at GCSE level provides a broad understanding of the past. It offers a glimpse into the lives of individuals and cultures ranging from medieval Europe right up to modern-day America, in addition to offering valuable insight into the ways in which society could function in the future.
By studying key periods in history, you will gain an insight into the changes that have taken place over time, and how these changes have shaped our world today. In the process, you will also develop a better understanding of the likely future of our society.
This is a subject that has the potential to act as a gateway to a huge range of careers; it can help you to develop strong analytical skills that are invaluable in many fields, in addition to providing a breadth of knowledge that will be beneficial in whatever path you choose. If you choose to continue to study history at further education, we have A level history tutors who can support you in your studies.
Potential careers may include archaeology, teaching and museum curation, as well as law, politics, and journalism – all of which have a need for strong analytical thinking and a grasp of history.
