History A Level allows students to gain an understanding of historical concepts and a coherent knowledge of the past. They acquire the ability to communicate, argue and reach balanced conclusions as well as develop techniques of critical thinking. We inspire students to engage critically with the past and historians' interpretations of events through attendance at lectures, conferences and historical visits. You will develop skills of analysis, research and communication and the ability to debate an issue and argue a case effectively, key skills crucial to future employment. The subject content for A Level History is divided into three components: • Component 1: Breadth Study: Consolidation of the Tudor dynasty: England 1485-1603 • Component 2: Depth Study: Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-45 • Component 3: History Investigation: a personal study based on Russia.
Applicants are expected to achieve a minimum of 6 GCSEs at Grade 6 or above, with a Grade 7 or above in any subject they are considering studying at A Level. In particular, a Grade 7 will be required in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Languages, owing to the need for a solid GCSE foundation to achieve success at A Level in these subjects.
• Written examination: 2 hours 30 minutes (2 papers) • 3 questions on each paper, each paper is worth 80 marks, and each paper is worth 40 % of A Level. • NEA makes up 20%: History Investigation: a personal study based on Russia.
