Humanities & Law Humanities cover a collection of subjects which investigate the human experience. They are academic disciplines looking at areas of humans and their roles in society, culture and education.
History If you are interested in the past, are keen to know how the present is shaped and what the future might hold in store, then History is the subject for you. Your ideas, your opinions and your views will be asked for as we come to judge how and why events in history happened. Students will enjoy and do well in History if they have a genuine interest in the world and the history of how it has developed as well as analysing and problem solving based on collecting and assessing evidence.
Politics Do you enjoy a stimulating and dynamic subject which investigates topical issues and controversies that affect our everyday lives? Politics helps us understand how the British political system works, as well as developing an understanding of the core ideologies of liberalism, conservatism and socialism and another important ideology, multiculturalism. Students will develop a range of analytical, investigative and critical skills to use in whatever career path they choose. To do well in Politics, students will need to keep up-todate with current affairs by reading a respected newspaper and watching or listening to the news on a weekly basis.
Sociology Sociology is the study of society and how individuals and groups interact within it. It deals with a wide range of questions and concepts that are relevant to contemporary life. Studying Sociology also involves looking at human action from a range of different perspectives and students are encouraged to see the world from many different angles. Students are encouraged to work together and use evidence to assess which point of view is the most accurate.

Law In the Law department, students will be introduced to aspects of English Law and the answers to the question above. Students will have the opportunity to take part in a mock trial and will be expected to participate in debates and discussions relating to contemporary legal issues. Law allows for debate, sometimes heated, as we study the Legal System and its many complexities and problems. Importantly, students will gain an insight into what it is like to study Law and pursue as a profession.
