The A Level History course is a 2 year A Level which comprises of 3 units: UNIT 1: Breadth Study – Tsarist & Communist Russia, 1855 – 1964 (1H) What brought an end to the dominant 304-year rule of the Russian Tsarist monarchy? How did Lenin and his compatriots inspire a revolution? At what cost did Stalin create a superpower? These are just some of the big questions that ignite the curiosity and interest of our students in a fascinating evaluation of economic, social, political and religious developments across one of the most significant periods of Russian history. How did the people of Russia cease power from the dictatorship of Tsar Nicholas II yet give birth to one of the most oppressive dictatorships in world history? Study this fascinating part of the course from the perspective of different historians and their varying interpretations. UNIT 2: Depth Study – Wars and Welfare: Britain in Transition, 1906–1957 (2M) What were the key turning points in British History which have shaped our political landscape today? How and why did women achieve the vote? What impact did both world wars have on the lives of people back home? How did the British government force the abdication of a King? Over a 50 year period you will study the social, economic, and political developments of the first half of the twentieth century and the different crises Britain faced along the way. UNIT 3: A Historical Investigation— NonExamination Assessment (NEA) This is your opportunity to hone your craft as an historian— independently studying the causes of the French Revolution across approximately 100 years. You will make your own judgment on the most significant factors taking into account the views and interpretations of at least two different historians, analysing and evaluating a range of primary sources and coming to a critical judgment on your chosen question.
If you have studied History at Key Stage 4 a Grade 6 is desirable. Other circumstances or teachers recommendation will however be considered. GCSE English at grade 5 is also a requirement.
