What the college says

A-level history is a respected academic subject. It looks at key events from the past, not only of our own country but events that have occurred throughout the world and across different time periods. An important aspect of studying history at A-level is the focus on areas of debate and controversy amongst historians. It is this controversy which makes history exciting and interesting and which encourages students to reach their own judgements and form their own opinions. Students will also develop their ability to analyse and to communicate their ideas clearly, to understand change over time, to use evidence and source material critically and to reach substantiated judgement.

Minimum requirement: 6 GCSEs Grades 9-4 (or equivalent), including English language and mathematics; Grade 5 history. History is an exciting and interesting course but students must be aware of the need for extensive reading and research. Commitment is vital for success in this subject.
