History
Sometimes new problems don’t require new solutions. From poverty and war, to political and social unrest, history can teach us how to solve some of the biggest challenges we face.
Our history units help you understand how to research and understand the past. You can delve right into complex topics like global history, social movements, human rights and propaganda.
Studying history will give you the critical thinking skills required to not only understand the past but to make informed decisions that help us drive our future. Browse our courses to find detailed course information, application dates, entry requirements, fees, subjects, ATAR calculator and more.
