The Courses History at A-level is one of the most popular subjects in the school. Students are offered an opportunity to study either the European course or the World course, both of which are very successful. In the European course, you will study 19th Century British, 20th Century German and 19th and 20th Century Russian History over the two years. In the World course the focus is on 17th Century England and American Civil Rights and Foreign policy in Korea and Vietnam in the 20th Century. See the World Course and European Course pages. University Applications History is one of the most highly valued A-Level subjects by universities. It is recognised by Cambridge University as one of six all-round academic subjects most suited to those applying for study. The skills it provides, in terms of being able to take in large amounts of information and writing coherent and cogent analytical essays are highly transferable. Many of our students go on to study History at university, while those who do not often find their study of History aids them in their own subject, whether arts or sciences. |
