AS and A Level from September 2015 are two separate qualifications. Unlike the old AS and A Levels, AS Level no longer forms 50% of the A Level. Despite this the content of the new AS Level is the same as 50% of the A Level, so teaching can still occur over the two years with an option to sit the AS Level at the end of the first year. Why history AS and A Level? This new course gives students a longer term perspective of history covering over 200 years, and introduces new and exciting themes and content. History at this level offers students the opportunity to develop and hone valuable skills in analysis, evaluation and the construction of arguments. Students are taught to think for themselves, to deal with evidence in a critical manner preparing them for a number of careers and university. Studying history at AS and A Level can open doors into areas such as journalism, law, teaching, politics and economics. First and foremost students should choose history if they find the subject matter interesting, without this enthusiasm the rigorous course will be difficult. History A Level requires intelligence, logic and a high level of literacy combined with an appetite for delving into the past.
