You do have to have studied GCSE History to take the Advanced GCE course in this subject. However individual cases will be considered on merit. The topics offered are new to all students. You will need an enquiring mind, an interest in the past and its relevance to current affairs and an ability to communicate your ideas effectively. Students will need a B in GCSE English Language and History to study the course. History GCSE students will find that the skills learned will form a solid foundation for further studies at A Level. Unit 1 - British period study and enquiry - England 1485-1558: the Early Tudors Unit 2 - Non-British period study - The Cold War in Asia 1945-1993 Unit 3 - Thematic study and historical interpretations - Russia and its Rulers 1855-1964 Unit 4 - Topic based essay, an independently researched essay of 3000-4000 words in length Advanced History forms an excellent preparation for further study of history at degree level but it has more to offer than that. Students have access to a wide range of career and higher education opportunities. By the end of the course they will have learned how to evaluate and analyse information, how to weigh up evidence and communicate complex ideas effectively. These skills are recognised and valued by employers, universities and colleges. The Department also runs a trip to Berlin. Contact: dchurch@ashlyns.herts.sch.uk
