What the college says

History is a diverse and fascinating history and at A-level you get the opportunity to delve in to this by looking at three topics; The War of the Roses, Tsarist and Communist Russia, 1855 - 1964 and the struggle for equal civil rights in the USA. These three units offer you a breadth of historical knowledge and the opportunity to tackle a variety of topics and debates. In History you will not only develop a wide range of knowledge, but your skills of analysis and evaluation will also be put to the test. Therefore you will not only have to describe knowledge, but also to analyse and draw critical judgements. You will be challenged to form your own opinions on a variety of topics and make connections between different information as well as tackling source material and the interpretations of historians.
