AQA Level 3 Advanced GCE in History
at Outwood Grange Academy, Wakefield · school or sixth form
What the college says
Our new History qualification has been developed to recognise the scope and diversity of the subject - both in terms of content and different approaches: There's no core content, allowing you to have as much professional freedom as possible to approach the subject in your chosen valid way. While the study of British History forms a substantial element, students will study the history of more than one country or state. Students will undertake a thematic study, covering an extended period of history of approximately 100 years. The coursework element will enable your students to explore a topic in history they have an interest in.
What you need to get on
Students should have at least a level 4 in History or English.
How you are assessed
Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
What this level means
The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
