History is the study of the past, of how and why things have happened, of individuals, of everyday life in different societies and so much more. History can be fascinating and thought-provoking and leads to a series of conclusions about the nature of nations and people that help us understand the world and societies in which we live. So much of major significance has occurred recently, including the Arab-Israeli Conflict and the War on Terror, which can only be fully understood in its historical perspective. A-Level - Three topics will be covered: Component 1: Breadth Study – The Tudors: England 1485-1603 Component 2: Depth study – Democracy and Nazism in Germany 1918-1945 Component 3: Historical Investigation: 3000-4000 word Non-Examined Assessment (coursework essay)
34 points minimum. Grade 4 GCSE in English and History or Geography must have been achieved.
The A-Level course will be assessed through two examinations both with historical interpretation questions and structured essay questions. Both examined components (1 and 2) will each last for 2 hours 30 minutes and individually count for 40% of the A-Level. In addition, it will also be assessed by the Historical Investigation which will consist of 3000 to 4000 words and counts for 20% of the A-Level. Through studying the chosen modules students will gain a coherent knowledge of the past both within and across the topics and in particular focus on how and why societies change.
