Pathway
History supports multiple learning and career pathways. Within the immediate context of senior secondary education, historical understandings can be applied to other subjects within the Social Sciences and to other learning areas such as the Arts, Science and English.
In the tertiary environment, the discipline of History can be further developed towards a career in such fields as a Historian, teacher, researcher or analyst. History can also enrich the study of other disciplines at the tertiary level such as the arts, physics, medicine, law, commerce, management, languages, archaeology, anthropology and health studies.
