History

Course summary

History is one of the most popular courses at PSC and is useful for any career which involves researching and analysing information and expressing arguments based upon evidence. There is a choice of three different routes, any of which will result in an A Level History qualification. History is one of the most popular courses at Peter Symonds. Students study three exam units over the two years on the A Level course as well as writing a 4,000 word piece of coursework. Our students have a choice of three History routes, any of which will result in an A Level History qualification. They will be taught and examined in the same way and you should make your choice on the basis of which period you think will interest you the most. Although we anticipate the majority of students choosing to follow the same route through the two years it should be possible for Route A students to switch at the end of the first year if they wish.
