There is a modern history focus to our IB course. If you choose the standard level course, you will study The Move to Global War, Authoritarian States, and the Causes and Effects of Twentieth-Century Wars. If you choose to take the higher level course, you will study Britain 1815–1914, European States in the Inter-War Years and Diplomacy in Europe 1919-39, in addition to the standard level units.
History is a literary subject, so a willingness to read, write, argue and explain is a must. It is normal to have gained a high grade in GCSE History, however, well-motivated students who are likely to achieve good GCSE results in other humanities subjects, especially English, will also be considered.
How will I be assessed? As the IB is linear, all examinations are at the end of the Upper Sixth: SL: External exams 1 and 2 (75%) Internal assessment (25%) A 2,200-word historical investigation into a topic area of the student's choice. HL: External exams 1, 2 and 3 (80%) Internal assessment (20%) A 2,200-word historical investigation into a topic area of the student's choice.
