Normally students should have at least grade C in History GCSE, but students who have not taken History before will be considered if their overall GCSE performance is satisfactory. Studying History is not just learning facts about the past, although you will need to do this. You will use a range of secondary works as well as studying original sources in order to arrive at an informed opinion on particular historical problems. As well as developing skills in note taking and essay writing, you will learn to analyse, select and put together material of different kinds in presenting your arguments. There are a number of professions that expect History as a qualification, such as museum or archive work and branches of archaeology. But the skills and intellectual discipline involved are transferable and make History one of the most sought after non-vocational subjects, since it indicates that highly desirable commodity – a mind at work. The Law, all branches of the Civil Service, Management, any area where informed decisions have to be made, will welcome the History skills.
