History

Course summary

The course is designed to offer students the opportunity to study at least 200 years of History and to become independent learners suitable for either a degree or the workplace. British History is an important element of the course and it focuses on democratic developments in the period c1780 - 1885, which saw Britain transformed as a nation in response to dramatic changes and political protest. This provides a contrast with the depth study which explores the failure of democracy and the rise of Nazism. The Personal Study provides students with a chance to investigate a period of 100 years of their choice.
