What the college says

A Level History is a fantastic springboard for future personal and career development. We study people, events, processes, controversies and in doing so develop the skills of analysis, evaluation, reflection and empathy. History students learn how to select and prioritise information; support, justify and prioritise arguments; and the persuasive presentation of complex arguments with sensitivity. Learners will need to be interested in people, their motivations and behaviour, and different societies. You will be expected to debate and develop your views around controversial historical topics.
