What the college says

History teaches us to be able to understand the past in order to understand the present. A level history is a transition to genuine academic history, and builds many key skills needed for a wide range of degrees and careers. Historians learn to weigh up evidence, seek the truth, discuss and evaluate interpretations and to analyse deeply. As such it is an extremely well-respected A level, valued by many universities and employers. In selecting a range of modules, we aim to give students a broader understanding of History by looking at some of the key ideas and developments in different time periods. We also hope to be able to let you follow your own interests in the coursework element of the course.
