What the college says

History at A Level offers students the opportunity to investigate how far the USA has moved out of the shadow of slavery; how Germany progressed from the ?land of poets and thinkers? to the brutal Nazi dictatorship; and why rebellion and disorder continued throughout the Tudor age. The course covers religious, social, political and economic change; the stories of those affected are inspiring, intriguing and disturbing. Through archive footage, source interrogation, site visits and through debate and discussion, students will develop communication skills in order to assess the significance of events, individuals, beliefs and movements from that particular time. A Level history is an excellent foundation for a number of popular careers.
