History A Level

Course summary

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. History is one of the Russell Group universities’ ‘facilitating’ subjects — so called because choosing them at A level allows a wide range of options for degree study. One of the most flexible of qualifications, History provides an excellent pathway to degrees such as History, Law, English and Philosophy, and beyond that to a range of interesting careers including the civil service, teaching, librarianship, banking and commerce, the law, publishing, museums and art galleries and a wide variety of social work.
