History is the study of the interpretation of facts. But is also the story of us, as a human race. It is an investigation of human behaviour, an enquiry into our motives and their consequences, not just the study of the past and the long dead. History is popular and highly regarded. It goes well with other Arts and Social Science subjects such as English and Geography. History is also one of the most popular choices of scientists looking to add a little breadth to their Sixth Form programme. It is not essential to have studied History at GCSE. History is considered an academic subject and is well thought of by higher education institutes, American universities and employers. History gives you the skills to: • Reason and analyse • Solve problems and think creatively • Be independent • Conduct detailed research • Construct an argument and communicate findings in a clear and persuasive manner • Manage time and priorities effectively • Discuss ideas in groups • Negotiate, question and summarise • Think objectively and approach problems and news situations with an open mind • Appreciate the different factors that influence the activities of groups and individuals in societies With a qualification in History, you can go on to work in a variety of jobs in law, the civil service, business, management and administration, the police, the Armed Forces, journalism, publishing and the media, leisure and tourism – as well as the more ‘obvious’ History – related careers such as teaching or working in museums or libraries.

This A Level in History has all assessments at the end of the two-year course: COMPONENT 1: The study of significant historical developments over a period of around 100 years and associated interpretations. We study the Tudors 1485-1603. COMPONENT 2: The study in depth of a period of major historical change or development and associated primary evidence. We study Democracy and Nazism: Germany, 1918 - 1945. COMPONENT 3: A personal study based on a topic from the third taught component. This should take the form of a question in the context of approximately 100 years. Our topic is the Ottoman Empire.
