- Provide students with the skills and abilities to undertake historical research and reporting using the normative ethical standard of the discipline of history
- Support students to develop the capacity to effectively communicate a nuanced understanding of historical events and concepts in a range of written and oral forms
- Produce graduates who are able to work independently and collaboratively and who can articulate the value of life-long learning and the continual renewal of knowledge and skills in light of advances in the graduate's chosen field
