What the college says

Unit 1: Tsarist and Communist Russia, 1855-1964. A breadth study of significant historical developments over a period of around 100 years and associated interpretations. The topic will revolve around unique individuals in Russian History from Tsar Nicholas II and his close advisor, Rasputin, to the creators of the Soviet State, Lenin and Stalin. Events during the period ranging from The Crimean War and the Emancipation of the Serfs, to the Bolshevik Revolution and the beginnings of the Cold War will captivate the historical inquisitiveness of all. Unit 2: The Making of Modern Britain, 1951-2007. A study in depth of a period of major historical change or development and associated primary evidence. The study of our nation provides such colour characters and events; from Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands War, to Tony Blair and the Troubles in Northern Island.
