What the college says

The best reason for taking History is that you are really interested in the subject. You enjoy exploring and discovering the past. You like reading, writing and discussion, and feel a sense of achievement after successfully confronting and making sense of complex and challenging problems. The past has given us all our political and religious ideas and institutions, our social customs, and indeed our own personal and family identities. The study of History gives us a unique perspective on the present. Studying aspects of British, European and World History from the 17th to the 20th century will equip you with the skills needed to make mature judgements about a wide range of current affairs.

GCSE Grade 6 or above in History and GCSE Grade 5 or above in English Language or Literature. GCSE History recommended, not essential. If you do not have GCSE History, you will need to seek approval from the Subject Leader.

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.
