You will study Germany from democracy to dictatorship. You will also study Civil Rights in the United States of America in the 1865-1992 period during Year 13. A-level History is an excellent A-level option for students that want to study History or a related subject at degree level. It provides a whole range of skills that universities value – such as the ability to work independently, carry out research and individual lines of enquiry, utilising sources and to question the world around you. Also, A-level History provides an interesting, relevant and engaging number of topics. If you want to know why England didn’t have a king for 11 years, what Germany was like after World War Two and why historians have disagreed about the causes of World War One, A-level History is the option for you.
