  • Check age eligibility and any academic prerequisites for the exact session, not just the overall programme.
  • Ask what feedback students receive and what they will study, practise or produce. Ask about reading expectations, essay work and discussion format. Choose a course whose period and approach interest the student, rather than assuming all history courses cover similar material.
  • Confirm current dates, fees, cancellation terms and what is included with the provider before applying.
