IB Certificate in HL History
at Knole Academy, Sevenoaks · school or sixth form
What the college says
Students studying this 2 year course will study a global history, looking at aspects of world history which have a direct impact on the modern world. Throughout the progress of the course, students of IB history will become more curious of the past, asking questions and wanting to seek answers; the foundation skills that they have learnt through their key stage 3 and 4 teaching will set them up with an excellent grounding for their further study in years 12 and 13. Communication will become a key part of the students’ work in IB history and, with continuing development, this vital life skill for the students will serve them well as they look to move onto further education at university or employment.
