A-Level History remains a strong foundation for students looking to continue to any humanities or social science subject at university.
A challenging course, students will not only master the art of the essay, but will master the construction of historical narratives and source analysis.
According to Cambridge International, this A-Level in History aims to enable students to develop:
- an interest in the past and an appreciation of human endeavour
- a greater knowledge and understanding of historical periods or themes
- a greater awareness of historical concepts such as cause and consequence, change and continuity, similarity and difference, significance and interpretations
- an appreciation of the nature and diversity of historical sources available, and the methods used by historians
- an exploration of a variety of approaches to different aspects of history and different interpretations of particular historical issues
- the ability to think independently and make informed judgements on issues
- an empathy with people living in different places and at different times
- a firm foundation for further study of History.
