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.

History is one of the most highly valued A-Level subjects by universities.  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.  Indeed around half of our cohort continues in their study of History at Universty. 

If you're interested in history more generally, and especially if you intend to study it at university, then you should go along to the Cambridge History Forum Conference.

If you want to ask any questions about either of our A-Level courses then you can e-mail us or alternatively pop in to the History Base.

From September 2008 the A-Level courses for History will be changing.
