History is in the top ten courses for graduate employability. Students are taught to critically analyse and research, form opinions based on evidence and to communicate their findings clearly. Students will study and discuss a range of historical topics across 3 components: • Component 1: The Tudors, 1485-1603 • Component 2: Democracy and dictatorship in Germany, 1918 - 1945 • Component 3: The pursuit for African American civil rights in the USA, 1863- 1968. This is the non-examined assessment unit which culminates in students writing an essay of 3,500 – 4,500 words based on a question of their choosing
To help you achieve the best grades possible at A level we ask that you choose the subjects you enjoy, have an interest in and did well in at GCSE. In most cases, this means you will have achieved at least a grade 6 at GCSE in the subjects you wish to study at A level. This does not apply to all A-level subjects we offer, for example, Politics and Psychology, as it is unlikely you will have studied either at GCSE. We will discuss entry requirements in these instances with you.
A-Level components in year 2: • Exam – Breadth Study (40%) • Exam 2 – Depth Study (40%) • Coursework – Historical Enquiry (20%)
