What the college says

If you have enjoyed GCSE History, the chances are that you will enjoy the subject at A Level, where you will have the opportunity to get to grips with topics and issues in much more depth, explore disagreements among historians (and fellow students) and reach your own conclusions. You will also develop and improve a variety of vital skills that will help you in other areas of study and in a wide range of careers. A Level History will teach you how to handle large amounts of information by being able to distinguish between what is important and relevant and what isn't. It will teach you how to think critically and how to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of people's ideas. Most importantly, perhaps, A Level History will help you to understand what motivates people and what they think and feel. It will help you to communicate ideas and arguments in a clear, concise and logical way and will help you to defend your point of view convincingly, both verbally and on paper.
