The A Level course spans Medieval, Early Modern and Modern History. The aim of the units is to develop specific history-related skills such as source analysis and interpretation, critical thinking, targeted reading, research, and extended writing, whilst allowing parallels and patterns to emerge by studying human social, economic and political behaviour in a variety of contexts. The course has been designed to balance political, social, modern, and earlier History: Unit 1: Britain 1625-1701- Conflict, revolution, and settlement (Year 12) Unit 2: Russia in Revolution, 1894-1924 (Year 12) Unit 3: Lancastrians, Yorkists and Henry VII, 1399-1509 (Year 13) Unit 4: Independent Research on a historical topic (Year 13)
A minimum of five 9-5 GCSE grades, which must include Mathematics and either English Language or English Literature. It is not a requirement to have taken History at GCSE especially if you enjoyed the subject at KS3 level. Speak to a history teacher if you are considering it without having taken GCSE.
