History

Assessment

The A-Level course will be assessed through two examinations both with historical interpretation questions and structured essay questions. Both examined components (1 and 2) will each last for 2 hours 30 minutes and individually count for 40% of the A-Level. In addition, it will also be assessed by the Historical Investigation which will consist of 3000 to 4000 words and counts for 20% of the A-Level. Through studying the chosen modules students will gain a coherent knowledge of the past both within and across the topics and in particular focus on how and why societies change.
