The purpose of Extension History is to enable students to build on the outcomes of the Ancient History and Modern History courses in relation to historiography and historical enquiry and communication. The course further develops students' understanding of how historians work. Rather than simply extending students' knowledge of a particular period or event in history, the course is aimed at using specific historical investigations to reflect on the nature of history and how and why approaches and interpretations change over time.
