What the college says

History at A level offers the opportunity to study both 'Modern' British, European history. It particularly suits those who have enjoyed the study of 'Modern' history at GCSE and are keen to extend their knowledge base. It can be a good choice with subjects such as English, Geography, Media, Politics and Religious Studies (Philosophy and Ethics), or with subjects such as Science, Maths and Technology to provide breadth. It results in greater understanding of different historical periods, involves lively discussions/debates and enhances the ability to analyse and present a case. It supports any degree/career path, but is particularly helpful for those interested in law, politics, media and the arts.

What you need to get on

We will require a grade 6 or above in History. We will still consider you if you are not currently doing History GCSE, in which case, you must achieve a 6 in English. You will need to be keen to read a range of historical texts and be a capable essay-writer. A willingness to contribute to class discussion is essential.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
