Course summary

Students who want to explore the depths of the world around them will enjoy studying A-Level History. Modules provide students with an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of Tudor Britain and Weimar and Nazi Germany. The Tudor monarchs constituted the most significant dynasty in English history, fundamental to the shaping of our church, parliament, civil service, intelligence agencies and culture. At A-Level, you will investigate the significance of these long-lasting influences on society. Moreover, a study of Weimar and Nazi Germany forms a critical analysis of how Germany ’s experiment with democracy for the first time in Weimar gave way to a dictatorial Nazi regime. It explores concepts such as democracy, ideology, class, anti-Semitism and a reflection on the problems of democratic states. A highly respected subject, graduates of History can go on to excel in a range of careers including Law, Journalism, Intelligence, Curatorship, Non-Governmental Organisation/Charity work and Teaching.
