Studying History A Level is both fascinating and provides students chronological breadth as well as an opportunity to study key events, periods and individuals from the past. History is a subject that encourages students to critically evaluate and interpret evidence in order to develop reasoned hypotheses and form balanced judgments. Paper 1 is the Breadth study focusing on The Tudors: England, 1485-1603. This involves the study of significant historical developments and different historical interpretations. Students will learn about the fascinating reign of each Tudor Monarch, from the Henry VII: ‘The Winter King’ to the triumphant reign of Elizabeth I. Paper 2 is the Depth study focusing on Democracy and Nazism: Germany, 1918-1945. This involves the study in depth of a major historical change, examining Germany’s ‘journey’ from a democracy to a dictatorship. It is investigated through the enhancement of knowledge and skills developed at GCSE. The qualification is completed with coursework based on an area of investigation. They will then be guided through a historical enquiry in which research, analyse and evaluate existing historical interpretations then organise and communicate the findings.
It is important for students to have the ability to express complicated arguments logically and coherently in written form. Consequently, they need a minimum of a grade 5 in History, English language & literature. You will need a minimum of 5 GCSE levels, grades 4-9, including English and Maths and at least three other subjects.
