What the college says

History is a thriving and very popular A Level choice and builds on what is a very successful and enjoyable GCSE course. History A Level encourages students to think critically about the key questions: Where are we now? Where have we come from? It develops the skills of analysis, evaluation and extended writing. It is a highly valued subject and grows in popularity with employers and universities alike.

What you need to get on

Students should preferably have achieved at least a grade 5 at GCSE History in order to be able to meet the demands of the A Level course. Students who have not taken History GCSE should not be put off by the A Level, but a grade 5 in GCSE English would be required in these cases.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

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

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
