If you enjoy the study of the past both for its own sake and also the light it throws on the present, then an A Level in History is for you. The skills most developed by History are those of critical analysis and the ability to express ideas, knowledge and interpretations clearly. History also provides students with a good grounding in transferable research skills. As a well respected academic discipline, History is considered an excellent A Level subject for entry to almost all degree courses. The History course will furthermore provide those applying for predominantly scientific courses with academic breadth. History is one of the facilitating A Levels. The study of History is a study of us as an international and global society. We study History to try to see things as other people saw them and interpret things in our own way.
