Course summary

The course is an exciting mix of early modern and modern History. The requirements of the course are outlined below, however, you must have a fascination with what has happened in the past and a determination to succeed and enjoy the subject. Good grades will only be achieved through two years of hard study. We seek to engage students through trips and attendance at lectures, as well as through a stimulating classroom environment.

Entry requirements

To study A-Level courses, a student must secure five Grade 5s at GCSE, including English and Maths.

How you'll be assessed

This is a 2-year A-Level which will be examined at the end of Year 13. Students will study the following units as well as completing a historical investigation (coursework): Unit 1 – The Tudors, 1485-1603 Unit 2 – Weimar and Nazi Germany, 1919-45 Historical Investigation – a study of the impact of events and individuals in the history of the 20th Century. The course will allow all students to develop skills of analysis, problem solving, independent study, research and a questioning approach to the world around us. Teaching will be varied and stimulating as we seek to present different ways of approaching the study of History. However, it must be noted that independent study and a desire to find out that little bit more will enhance your enjoyment and success in the subject.
