Course summary

At present, the department runs two options in Lower Sixth. One examines the development of democracy in the 19th Century Britain as well as gaining an international perspective in a study of the unification of Germany. The other route in Lower Sixth combines an in-depth study of the Tudor period with a study of the German Reformation led by the protest of Martin Luther. In Upper Sixth, all students complete coursework on an aspect of the Nazi regime as well as studying a course in the history of black civil rights in the USA from the American Civil War to the election of Barack Obama.
