History is an intellectually satisfying discipline. You will be required to think for yourself and to be questioning, not merely to be absorbent of information and knowledge. There are no right or wrong answers in History; all answers can in their own way have a measure of truth in them, but the best ones demonstrate real understanding and are convincingly argued. You will be expected to arrive at your own conclusions. An excellent History essay is a clear, logical, well-organised and persuasive statement about a highly complex situation. If you can achieve this, not only have you an accomplishment to be proud of, you have a skill which will be of service in almost any walk of life. The study of History will develop your communication skills, planning and organisational skills, team work and problem-solving skills. At the heart of your A Level you will study The Weimar and Nazi Germany in depth, Britain during the Tudors and Europe 1855-1955. Every year we organise exciting and informative trips. We have also run trips to Washington DC. The subject also benefits from the influential politicians and academics that regularly visit Trent for lectures and talks.
Grade 6 or above at GCSE History or English.
Coursework on Russia 1855 - 1953: 20% of the final qualification. Examination on each of the other topics: 80% of the final qualification.
