This course offers you a chance to look through a window into the past and learn about real life experiences. We learn about the significance of individuals like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, and discover what life was like under their regimes. You will investigate how and why societies have changed over time, and consider the different views that a range of historians might have about these periods. You will analyse the impact that conflict has had on our society, and the “Experience of Warfare” unit offers an insight into the Crimean, Boer and First World Wars. In addition to the examined units, you also complete a coursework component, which enables you to investigate a chosen question, problem or issue. You will be required to form a critical view based on relevant reading and research. The coursework will be set and assessed by your teacher, and you will have the support of the experienced team of sixth form History staff who will assist you in the completion of your enquiry. To supplement your A Level studies, you will also have the opportunity to go on enrichment visits to the WWI Battlefields and Auschwitz in Poland. You will develop a broad range of skills that will support any future career pathway. Evidence handling, analysis and interpretation feature in many of our lessons, and over the course of study, you will master the skill of expressing your own historical ideas effectively and with confidence. You should choose History if you want to keep your options open; History is widely regarded as a useful qualification for a wide range of higher education or career choices.
