History

Course summary

Why study history? Have you ever wondered about the world we live in and why it’s turned out like this? Have you ever asked yourself: who is in control, and why them? Have you ever questioned: who are the communists and how have they shaped our world? If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then you should consider studying A level history!
