In the Sixth Form you will explore a mixture of modules from Germany, Italy, Britain, and the causes of the First World War. This combination has been carefully chosen to extend the skills that you developed at GCSE and broaden your awareness of the past. What will I be studying on the course? The course that you will take is Edexcel GCE History (9H10). During Year 12 students will study two components. These units will also make up the AS exam: The first component will concentrate on ‘Germany from 1918-89’. You will examine some of the political changes experienced by Germany and West Germany, including the Nazis and reunification in 1989 In the second component you will carry out an in-depth study of the turbulent years of ‘The rise and fall of fascism in Italy, c1911-46’ In Year 13 you will take two further components: The third component will look at ‘The British Experience of Warfare, c1790-1918’. You will study different aspects of major overseas conflicts and the changing relationship between the state and the people as governments tried to create an effective fighting machine and prepare Britain for war. In the fourth component you will carry out personal research, using an extensive range of documents. What will I be doing in lessons? Lessons are adapted to suit a range of learning styles. Many of the activities will be familiar to you, such as acquisition of knowledge and the use of sources. There is much more scope for independent learning, interaction of ideas and discussions.
A grade 6 in GCSE History. If you have not studied History at GCSE you will need at least a grade 6 in GCSE English. Language or Literature.
The components are examined at the end of Year 13: 80% of the marks are from written examinations and 20% from the internal assignment.
