History is one of the most valued A Level subjects by universities and employers. This is because History is not only a fascinating discipline in terms of subject content, but is also an excellent way to develop a large range of important, highly valued and transferable skills. A Level History develops analysis of information in order to gain information, a critical mind in evaluating evidence and competing arguments, and developing wellreasoned and convincing arguments. All of these attributes are exactly what higher education institutions and all professions look for. History is always seen as one of the broadest, all-encompassing subjects combining Economics, Politics, English, Geography, Languages amongst others which is why historians are always highly valued as members of quiz teams! The logic and analysis that History entails also compliments scientific and mathematical study. If you are curious about the past, discussing ideas and coming to your own personal conclusions, then History A Level may be for you.
