What the college says

What do Gordon Brown - former PM, Prince Charles - Prince, Ali G - Comedian, Jonathon Ross - TV presenter, Steve Coppell - Football Manager, Lord Coe - President of the IAAF and Corinne Bailey-Rae-Singer, an ex AHS student all have in common? They all studied History of course. So no more - “What can you do with History” or “I don’t want to be an historian.” You can be so many things with History due to the skills which it develops. Analysing evidence, developing an argument, and making a judgement are all used by people in many different jobs, e.g. lawyers, doctors, journalists, accountants. AS Level Option - If students opt to take just AS they study Units 1 and 2. They will look at the same topics but only complete half of the course. So Unit 1 would cover only Henry VI and Henry VIII and leave out Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. Unit 2 would only cover the Weimar Government and go up to Hitler becoming Chancellor and leave out the Nazis in power and their racial policies. AS students would not study Unit 3 so there would be no coursework at this level.
