The course provides clear continuity from GCSE and at the same time sound preparation for higher education. Exciting and innovative historical topics have been chosen through which candidates study four crucial aspects of the subject: theories of explanation and the uses and limitations of source materials at AS and of interpretations and of historical significance at A2.
By shifting the emphasis of History firmly to the 'why' and 'how' along side the more traditional 'what', of the historian's work, this brand new specification represents an exciting development in the study of AS/A Level History.
