What the college says

History is a facilitating A-level; this means that regardless of what you want to do post 18, the skills gained through your study of A-level History can help you in your chosen path such as the ability to analyse sources and pick out key information, communicate ideas effectively and make substantiated judgements. ​Many of our students go on to study history at university as a single honours degree or as part of a joint honours degree. Even if studying history at university, or a career in this specific field is not your goal, it is important to remember that you can use a history qualification in a variety of jobs, in business and administration, the police service, the law, journalism and the media.

What you need to get on

Students should have achieved a Grade 6 or above in GCSE History or achieved at least a Grade 6 in an essay-based subject.

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?
