The Applied History course focuses on the experience of migrants over a 1000 year period, students who take this option will study four main topics:

1. Raiders and invaders – The Viking, Saxon and Norman invasions.
2. International History – The Vietnam War.
3. A society in depth – The USA from war to war, 1914-1945.
