We cannot understand the present unless we understand the past; this makes history one of the most important of all the subjects taught at schools and colleges. Students will have developed some understanding of History at GCSE, but A Level History offers students the chance to take their understanding much further. What will I learn? The AQA course is split into three components: Component 1 – “Britain: industrialisation and the people, c.1783 – 1885”. Component 2 -“Revolution and dictatorship: Russia, 1917 – 1953” Component 3 – of the course is the Historical Investigation, in which students will complete a 3,500 word piece of coursework on an aspect of twentieth century history
Students will be expected to have achieved a grade 6 or above in GCSE History and a minimum of a grade 5 in GCSE English.
At the end of Year 13, your A Level grade will be based on the following: Component 1 – 2½ hr exam (40% of A Level) Component 2 – 2½ hr exam (40% of A Level) Component 3 – coursework (20% of A Level)
