With A level History you can progress to higher education courses, for example degrees in History, Politics, English Literature, Economics or Geography. An Advanced GCE in History will give you a number of skills relevant to many types of employment, such as the ability to seek information and to analyse it in order to identify facts and motives and to present information clearly for others to understand. The skills you will obtain through studying history will be useful in a number of careers, either directly related to history eg working in museums, galleries, heritage sites, record offices and archives and teaching, or in areas such as journalism, libraries, national and local government and the civil service. AS Students study Revolutions in early and modern Europe. The topics studied are Britain in the Stuart period, including the rule of Charles I and the Civil Wars, Cromwell and the Commonwealth, and the restoration of the monarchy. There is also an in-depth study of the French Revolution, looking at the rule of Louis XVI and the causes of the revolution, and the subsequent political, social and economic changes. Going into A Level History is a smart move if you want a fascinating subject that offers you a range of career possibilities at the end. A Level History gives you a similar level of desirability as an English qualification does, as the methods of assessment are relatively the same. However, A Level History gives you a much broader range of knowledge.
