What the college says
This is a two year A Level course. The course focuses on a broad range of topics to ensure that students develop the necessary skills whilst examining a wide historical context. The skills learnt on the course will include analysis of cause and effect, document interpretation and the process of change. The department stresses the need for students to work hard, develop individual study skills, read widely and participate fully in class discussions. A good standard of written English is important. Attendance, punctuality and meeting deadlines are also very important. There will be a system of testing during the course through continual assessments. The entry requirement is a grade 6 at GCSE History, although students with a good pass in another Humanities subject would also be eligible to study this course.Further information is available in our prospectus at www.uai.org.uk.
