Welcome to the Humanities Faculty

The Humanities Department contains the four core disciplines of Geography, History, Religious Education and Sociology.

Humanities subjects are not only a very valuable qualifications, which will develop the many essential skills that employers demand, they are essential in order to understand the world in which we live.

We run a number of field trips throughout the year, whether to investigate the impact of tourism on rural areas; to the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, or in partnership with the Languages faculty to Berlin.
