History

Course summary

First and foremost, you should choose to take History at A level because you have a passion for the subject. You will then gain a deep understanding of the people, ideas and events of these three compelling periods. You will develop as a critical thinker and improve your analytical skills. The subject is a good basis for numerous degrees and careers: History, Law, English, Psychology, Philosophy, Journalism, Archaeology, Anthropology and Politics – to name a few. You will be taught more informally than at GCSE by two subject specialists.
