What the college says

Ancient History is a humanistic subject, with similarities to History, Politics or Geography, and can be studied alongside the History A Level offered at Bay House. It is not expected that students will have prior knowledge from their GCSE subjects; however, to be successful candidates require a sound standard of English and an interest in the military, political, religious, social and cultural history of the Ancient Greeks and Roman Empire.
