Introduction
The history A-level will allow you to cover defining periods in British and world history over a 1000 year period. You will study Anglo-Saxon England, learning about life before the Norman invasion and defeat of the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings and what it meant for English life afterwards and the decline in Anglo-Saxon culture and language.
You will also study the Crusades, a period of history defining political and religious events, whose after-effects can in some ways be felt today in the Middle East. Modern history will also be studied, looking at the rapid social development and change from the 1880s through to the present learning how positions in society and political and economic events have shaped our cultural directions.
You are assessed through a series of three exams, and a piece of coursework in the second year.
This course really encourages you to think for yourself, to question the world around you and to see issues from a different point of view. This is valuable to most employers and universities.
