WHY STUDY THIS COURSE? History at La Retraite is an exciting course to choose! In addition to the stimulating content of the courses, History is an excellent way for students to develop highly sought after and transferable skills. These include being able to effectively communicate complex ideas, the ability to research, analyze and evaluate information, both orally and in writing, and the capacity to make substantiated judgements, all whilst developing independent work skills. 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. WHAT WILL I LEARN? The course is designed to be exciting and engaging. Throughout the A Level students will learn about a range of varied and intriguing topic areas that we hope will continue to spark interest in History. Student’s first year’s study of life in Britain in the 20th century will be complemented by studying the USA from the end of The First World War until 1955. In the second year you will be investigating the witch craze which swept through Europe and the USA from the 16th century. Students will also get the opportunity to undertake an independent historical enquiry, further developing your research and analysis skills and demonstrating extended writing in depth.
