Course Content: A-Level History allows you to go deeper into your study of history, creating more sophisticated arguments and encountering increasingly interesting sources and stories from the past. Topic 1: Tudors 1485-1603: This will build on students learning in KS4 as we trace religious conflict, global exploration and European rivalry over the course of the Tudor dynasty. Topic 2: Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-1945. Students will learn about the dramatic events of the early 20th century in Germany, tracking political, social and economic changes that transformed a leading democracy into a totalitarian state under the Nazi Party. Topic 3: Coursework enquiry. Students will be able to undertake their own enquiry and research around a topic of their choice. This allows students to be hands-on in researching and questioning events and people in the past that interest them, as well as preparing students for independence in the workplace as well as mirroring undergraduate studies.
Entry Requirements: Grade 6 at GCSE History. It is not essential to have studied History at GCSE but an interest in the subject, willingness and ability to work independently and be self motivated is a must. In the case of not having studied History at GCSE, strong English Literature & Language performance would be required.
Assessment: The course ends with 2 exams based on topics you have studied. This will include a range of question-styles, including essays, source analysis and responding to historians' interpretations. The course also has coursework which is a research piece presented in a 3000-4000 word essay on a topic you have chosen.
