There will be an increased push towards exams as the preferred form of assessment. Coursework content in some subjects will be reduced or removed. The course may involve a mix of assignments and examinations.
A level History is made up of three components. The first is a breadth study, looking at the Tudors and the changes that took place over that period. Component two is a depth study, looking at post-1945 America, and the final component is the coursework module, where students will study Russia between 1855 and 1964.
You will develop your ability to analyse sources, develop arguments, research and construct essays, problem-solve, and think critically.
Progression routes
The critical analysis skills that you will develop enable progression on to careers such as law, journalism, marketing and business, management, and teaching. Alternatively, you could pursue specialist occupations such as archaeology, historical research, and museum curation.
