Historical studies

Why study historical studies?

The Historical studies program at Grenfell Campus focuses on how western societies, cultures and nations have evolved from the days of Greece and Rome to the present.

Your learning will culminate with a fourth-year independent project. You'll bring together all of your learning to write an essay on any topic of your choice and delve into areas of history that excite you.
