This is a 2 yr course combing AS and A2. 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. A2 Students will study Civil Rights in the USA between 1850 and 2009. This will look at the period which began with millions of black Americans in slavery and end with Barack Obama as President. The coursework unit will look at the effectiveness of the campaign for womens suffrage in the 19th and early 20th centuries. 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.
