REQUIREMENTS: Grade 5 in GCSE History

Everything happening around us today has been influenced by and is a result of what has happened in the past. History can help us predict what could happen in the future. You study topics which broaden your understanding of how countries and ideas have developed over time. It is an exciting opportunity to analyse and explore ideas of democracy and freedom. Skills developed during this qualification include critical and analytical thinking, strong language skills, as well as the ability to make clear and persuasive arguments. History is a flexible A Level as the skills and knowledge developed would complement a range of careers within law, journalism, archaeology, and government.
