Course summary

What will I study Year 12 is focused on two markedly different communist states. The first is a breadth study of the USSR from 1917 to its collapse in 1991. The second is a depth study in Mao’s China from 1949-76. Both of these topics are fascinating, and the attempts of the regimes to force their interpretation of Marx’s theory on to countries not ready for change result in some of the worst atrocities of the 20th century. In year 13 you complete your coursework module on the Holocaust. You choose your own question to study, and research it yourself. Lessons become more akin to a university style seminar debate, and you develop into independent historians. The final module is on the Tudors between 1485 and 1603 and how they dramatically changed the course of British history.
