Course summary

Throughout history there has been rapid, dramatic and dynamic change.

You will learn to: • Explore the significance of events, individuals, ideas and societies. • Understand the nature and uses of historical evidence. • Communicate effectively at a high level. • Make responsible judgements on issues of importance and questions of value. If you are interested in the way people think and act, and the consequences, then you have a head start in this subject. A Level History is regarded by universities and employers as a facilitating subject. History is a subject of enquiry and reflection, and we expect students to do both.
