Apart from being extremely enjoyable and enabling students to learn about the past - that is, to understand the past and, through it, come to a far better understanding of the present. History offers students the opportunity to acquire and improve on many of the key skills which have been identified as a priority for higher education.
5 GCSE grades A*- C/4+ including both English language and maths, plus a minimum of 5 in GCSE History
In the first year, students will study ‘In Search of the American Dream: the USA, 1917-96.’ This topic is a breadth study of American History and will encompass topics such as America during the First World War and the economic boom, as well as the development of the Civil Rights Movement and different leadership challenges and styles of of the different presidents. Student’s will also study ‘India, 1914-48: the Road to Independence’. This unit comprises a study in depth of the transitions of the Indian sub-continent from a colony to independence. In a world that is at times seemingly more divided upon matters to do with imperialism and colonialism, this unit encourages pupils to consider the impact of British rule on India. Consider why Indian nationalist groups grew and how they progressed, the challenges they faced and what this meant for partition in 1947. In the second year, students will study Poverty, Public Health and the State 1780-1939. The breadth and depth topics explore the ways in which the British state gradually, and not always successfully, became involved in taking on responsibility for people’s health and welfare. Students will also complete a historical study on the Vietnam War.
