History is a fascinating versatile and highly regarded subject that explores past events and figures who have shaped the world as we know it today. Inspirational history graduates include former US presidents Richard Nixon and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Borat creator and millionaire Sacha Baron Cohen, who earned his degree from the University of Cambridge, showing exactly what students can aspire to achieve.Studying history not only helps improve your knowledge of the past, but it also helps you develop skills that are invaluable in many jobs.
