Course Content
“History is who we are and why we are the way we are,” said David McCullough.
You will tackle a wide range of medieval and modern British, European and World History, allowing you to understand how modern society and government has been shaped by the past. Parts of the A Level course offer the opportunity to look at short periods of history in depth, such as the Crusades and the Angevin Empire. Other units take a broader view, for example how warfare changed from the late 18th century into the 20th century.
Entry Requirements
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 4 (grade C) including English.
Other A Levels
History is universally respected and combines particularly well with Business Studies, English Language, English Literature, Geography, Law, Media or Film Studies, Psychology and Sociology.
Where will my course lead?
A Level History is considered by the Russell Group of universities as one of the ‘facilitating’ A Levels and provides access to a range of options. History students may go on to study History at university or degrees in subjects such as Business, Economics, History and English, English, Journalism, Art History, Politics or Law. History degrees are the most popular non-law degrees for those entering the legal profession. In employment the skills of evaluating materials, making judgements and articulating arguments that History promotes are highly prized. Careers could include areas such as teaching, banking, law, nursing, civil service, social work, or the financial sector.
