History applicants need more than an interest in the past. Universities value students who think critically about sources, question dominant narratives, and reflect on how historical events shape our understanding of the present.
The university primer helps students develop a more critical understanding of history, engage with the latest issues, and stand out as candidates.
University primer – sample version (performing arts)
The university primer offers a wide selection of mini-lessons and other resources that explore and unpack the latest issues and events related to the course, enabling students to link learning to the real-world, develop a more critical eye, and demonstrate subject interest.
The advice on the final slide of the presentation provides specific advice on how the story will help to deepen their knowledge, introduce them to key thinkers, and relate to wider issues going on in the world. Check back every month for new stories. To access all the UP padlets join us here!
