Do you need to do history in school to get acepted for history courses in uni?
hello i remember seeing something that said that for most history courses, you don't need history to get in, as they start from the beginning during the course. I wanted to know if this is true, which would make taking it in high school pretty much useless, or if it means you'll get fewer courses or even be bumped up a year

Yes, that's usually the case! Many universities welcome students into History programs even if they didn't study History in high school. Introductory courses often cover the basics, so you won't be at a disadvantage. However, requirements can differ depending on the university and country. Taking History in high school can still be helpful because it builds skills like research, analysis, and essay writing. My tip: look into the entry requirements of the universities you're interested in. Don't skip History just because you think it won't help—your interest and preparation are important!
