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.
