History

Course summary

History is a popular subject at A Level and the skills learned at GCSE will provide a solid foundation for further study in this subject. History will appeal to those students who wish to improve their analytical skills, enjoy investigation and discovery, enjoy debate and like putting forward a well-argued case. The History Department at Dunottar has a good tradition of achieving excellent examination results and students benefit from experienced and well qualified teachers, good resources and small classes. We strive to offer students the opportunity to study contrasting periods of History so that a better breadth is achieved and this is particularly valuable for those students who go on to study History at university level and many previous pupils have done just that at a variety of Russell Group universities.
