History is one of the most fundamental disciplines in the liberal arts curriculum. Those with historical training have traditionally taken top honours in journalism, government, the law, and other fields that require good writing and reading skills, the ability to synthesize disparate information, and a deep knowledge of the human condition. In an age of increasing over-specialization, history keeps a window open on a broad and vibrant global landscape, a perspective with colour and depth as well as scale. It informs each of the other arts disciplines while fostering skills and viewpoints uniquely its own. Historical training at NUS is not about memorizing facts and dates, nor is it about living in the past. Mastering the discipline means understanding changing historical patterns and networks that explain the present shape of the world. Past and present are a continuum, and each remains vague without an understanding of the other. History attracts students who seek answers to broad and important questions, want to approach issues critically rather than conventionally, and want to master written and oral communication.
