History has always been about change and how that has affected society at the time. You'll discover two periods of time in your taught modules and a Non-Examined Assessment (NEA/coursework) module, which will be of your choosing. You are encouraged to learn about history over a 200-year period and from at least two different countries. Module 1: Germany - Democracy and Nazism 1918-45 Germany goes through extensive change throughout the period. From an autocratic government to a democracy and then to a dictatorship, you will engage with what society was like for the ordinary people of Germany, the Jews, and the Nazis. In Year 12, you will discover the Weimar Republic and how this society of freedom and liberalism was exchanged for one of oppression and hatred. In Year 13, you will then go on to study the outbreak of World War Two, the Holocaust, and Hitler's role in it all. Module 2: Britain - 1603-1702 This module focuses on Britain at a time of war, fear, religious conflict, disease, revolution, and enlightenment. This period is known historically as the Early Modern Period. The module concentrates on British society, and the people behind change, over a 99-year period. In Year 12, you will learn about James I, his fascination with witchcraft, his plantation policy, and how religion dictated all aspects of the lives of ordinary people. You will also consider the threats posed to the monarchy, from home and abroad, and the failures and execution of Charles I after the English Civil War. You will also look at Leicestershire's role within the period and what happened. In Year 13, you will go on to focus on the Interregnum, the Restoration, the religious war with Ireland, the great plague, and the glorious revolution. Finally, you will complete a Non-Examined Assessment (NEA/coursework) module. Topics for this can range from the causes of the American Civil War, The Cause of WW1 to Tudor England. In some cases students are allowed to study their own question if approved by the exam board.
