AS - History

AS Level History

Both AS and Advanced GCE students are required to:

• Students study aspects of the past in breadth through periods or themes. The unit addresses breadth of study, requiring students to study two linked themes from a range of perspectives, for example social, religious, political and cultural.

Students will study British history in some depth. Grounded in an exploration of source material in its historical context, this unit enables students to develop an in-depth understanding of the attitudes, beliefs and structures of the societies they study. In working with selected sources, students will be required to demonstrate evidence skills which enable them to make reasoned and supported judgements and to address a historical view or claim.
