What the college says

History at A level is an interesting and challenging subject which is well regarded academically by employers and universities. Former students have pursued a wide range of different courses and careers. History goes well with other Arts and Social Science subjects such as Politics, English, Geography and Sociology. History is also one of the most popular choices of scientists looking to add a little breadth to their Sixth Form programme through their fourth AS. The A Level looks at three very different areas of History: The Russian State 1855-1964, British History between the years 1906 and 1957, and the Tudor Monarchy.
