What the college says

Everything happening around us today has been influenced by and is a result of what has happened in the past. Studying history helps us understand how events in the past made things the way they are today. With lessons from the past, history inspires us to not only learn about ourselves and how we came to be, but also develop the ability to avoid mistakes and create better paths for our societies and ourselves in leading better and more cohesive lives. The two year Edexcel History A Level course is divided into four parts: three part exam papers and one part independent coursework
