If you enjoy the study of the past both for its own sake and also for the light it throws on the present, then A Level History could be for you. You will study two contrasting periods of History, a breadth study covering the whole Tudor century in English history, and a depth study analysing the causes and course of the French Revolution. Both courses will develop your ability to analyse and evaluate historical material, including contemporary documents and contrasting accounts from different historians. You will learn how to present your own views in a balanced and logical manner in the form of an essay. In addition, the historical investigation will allow you to research and analyse a topic of your own choosing. Component 1: Breadth study – The Tudors: England, 1485 -1603 Studying a period of more than a century will allow you to develop a secure understanding of the process of change over time. You will develop an understanding of the nature of causes and consequences, of change and continuity and of similarities and differences over a long period of time. Component 2: Depth study: France in Revolution, 1774-1815 You will develop a detailed knowledge of this key period of history which was to change the relationship between the ruler and the governed, not only in France but throughout Europe and, in time, the wider world. Component 3: Historical investigation – non-exam assessment You will study a specific issue or development in the context of a 100 year period.
Offers of places will be made based on predicted GCSE Grades and applicants will require at least 5 passes at Grade 5 or above; at least a 6 in any subject to be studied at A Level except for Mathematics and the Sciences in which the candidate must have achieved at least a Grade 7.
