What the college says

A Level History is an exciting and highly relevant subject, which enables you to deepen your understanding of the world today. You will study major political revolutions, the clash of ideas, developments in the structure of society and the way the economy has influenced historical events, both in Britain and across the globe. History is a subject that is driven by enquiry, and so will help you to develop as a highly critical, analytical thinker. It allows you to engage with the most up-to-date historical scholarship, exploring the debates between current historians. You will learn how to construct lines of argument and communicate these in fluent and coherent historical essays.
