It is difficult to have any perspective on the events in the news, or indeed on our current political system, in a vacuum. The study of history broadens horizons and increases empathetic understanding of groups and individuals in the past. It is a rigorous and traditional A-level subject that is very highly regarded by all universities, as well as being fascinating to study for its own sake. Component 1 – Breadth Study: The Tudors 1485-1603 This option allows students to study in breadth issues of change, continuity, cause, and consequence in this period through the following key questions: • How effectively did the Tudors restore and develop the powers of the monarchy? • Why and with what results were there so many changes to the Church and religious practice? • How serious a threat was posed to Tudor monarchs by opposition and rebellion? • How far and why were England’s relations with foreign powers changed? • How important was the role of key individuals and groups and how were they affected by developments? Part One: Consolidation of the Tudor Dynasty: England, 1485–1547 Part Two: England, 1547–1603: Turmoil and Triumph Component 2 - Depth Study: France in Revolution 1774-1815 This option explores what is the birth of the modern world via the explosive and fascinating French Revolution and Napoleon Bonaparte’s subsequent attempts to bring Europe to its knees. Part One: The end of Absolutism and the French Revolution 1774-1795. Looking at the circumstances that led to the Revolution and brought the monarchy to the steps of the guillotine. We will then explore how the Terror descended on France. Part Two: The rise of Napoleon and his impact on France and Europe 1795-1815. In this part, we see how Napoleon comes to dominate first France and then Europe. Component 3 – Independent Historical Investigation A personal study based on Russia and the Soviet Union, presented in the form of an extended piece of writing
