Modern history is an exciting, engaging and rewarding subject. A large focus of the History A-Level course will be on understanding the development and changes of modern Communist states in the 19th and 20th centuries. These will include Russia between the Revolution of 1917, right up until the end of the Cold War in 1991, as well as Communist China under Chairman Mao. You will study historical controversies, such as the fall of the USSR or the rapid and tragic transformation of Chinese society during the 1950s and 60s.
A GCSE grade 5 in English Language and grade 4 in History (if taken).
Your History A Level will be assessed through a series of exams at the end of your two-year course. Paper 1, Russia, 1917-91: from Lenin to Yeltsin, and Paper 3, Britain: losing and gaining an empire, 1763-1914, will each consist of a 2-hour exam in which students will answer three questions on their topic, worth a total of 60 marks for each paper. Paper 2, Maos China, 1949-76, will be worth 40 marks and students will be required to answer two questions. The questions will range from the stand.
