What the college says
The History A level course provides an interesting and broad field of study, building on the skills acquired at GCSE. History is a valuable subject for a variety of reasons. Through the study of history we learn the bases upon which our world is constructed and the motives of those who have shaped it. It also teaches us to be critical, to debate and to question; all skills which are transferable to every walk of life, every career pathway and pastime. A degree in history can lead to a career in journalism, publishing, the media, politics, teaching and management.
