Studying History equips you with knowledge, understanding, and skills which will prove invaluable in later life. It develops your understanding of the contemporary world and the forces which have shaped the society in which we live. Students choose A-level History because they possess a genuine interest in the past and the desire to analyse it in great detail. We hope that you will enjoy the cut and thrust of historical debate, challenging accepted views and developing a real expertise in your specialist subject. Through the pursuit of History you will learn to articulate your views effectively, construct complex analytical arguments and take responsibility for the management of your own learning.
It is possible for students to take History at A-level even if they did not study it at GCSE level. However, if this is the case, prospective students must have a strong understanding of contextual knowledge of 20th century World History. We expect students who have taken GCSE History to have gained a Grade 7-9, and those who have not taken GCSE to have gained a Grade 7 in both English Language and Literature.
