History

Course summary

The structure of the course is a linear one with all A level qualification exams taking place at the end of Year 13 in addition to the submission of one piece of coursework. In line with school policy, all students will complete exams at the end of Year 12 which will give a stand-alone AS qualification for students not continuing their studies to the full A level qualification. The course content in Year 12 centres on the theme of nationalism, dictatorship and democracy in twentieth century Europe, focussing upon in-depth studies of Germany and Italy. In Year 13 students will study a British history option and complete one piece of coursework based upon a topic which realises differing historical interpretations and debate.
