History remains one of the most popular GCSE subjects. It not only gives students an understanding of the past, but gives them new perspectives about how the modern world came into being.

In addition, a GCSE in history gives students the chance to master important critical thinking skills, learn how to construct robust historical narratives, and understand how to evaluate historical sources.

According to Cambridge International, this iGCSE in History aims to enable students to develop:

an interest in and enthusiasm for learning about the past
knowledge and understanding of individuals, people and societies in the past
knowledge that is rooted in an understanding of the nature and use of historical evidence
an understanding of key historical concepts: cause and consequence, change and continuity, and similarity and difference
an understanding of international issues in history
historical skills, including investigation, analysis, evaluation and communication skills
a sound basis for further study and the pursuit of personal interest.
