A keen interest, a willingness to argue, a critical eye and an eagerness to read are all important prerequisites for this course. Pupils will be required to think about historical issues in increasingly complex ways, whilst becoming more independent in their approach to their learning. The Bryanston course covers English, European, Russian and South African History. The required study of Medieval and South African History in A3 is followed by the opportunity for a pupil to choose their own coursework question. In A2, they may be able to select to study either more Medieval History or courses in Russian History or The Changing Nature of Warfare. The coursework enables students to pursue a period or topic that they have a specific interest in, providing it fits within the guidelines provided by the exam board. History combines well with all other subjects, from Sciences to Economics, English, Politics, Geography and languages.
Candidates sit GL Assessments CAT4. In addition, pupils are expected to achieve 40 or more GCSE points. International pupils should have IELTS at 6.0 or equivalent. Most heads of department recommend at least a grade 7 at GCSE for subjects relevant to sixth form study. GCSE History is not a requirement, although it is helpful, and a grade 6 or above at GCSE is usually expected.
