AS Level History European History

The AS Level History course, with a focus on European History, offers a flexible and expansive exploration of modern history spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Tailored to build upon the foundational skills acquired during the International GCSE level, this course serves as a catalyst for the development of enduring skills essential for historical inquiry. It places equal emphasis on deepening historical knowledge and honing the critical skills required for historical research.

Throughout this course, students are primed to scrutinise cause-and-effect relationships, trace patterns of continuity and change, discern similarities and differences, and proficiently wield historical evidence as a cornerstone of their studies. This approach fosters a holistic understanding of historical periods and cultivates the ability to critically engage with complex historical narratives.

The curriculum offers students the flexibility to choose from a rich array of topics, including European, American, or International history, catering to diverse interests and fostering a deeper engagement with specific historical contexts. By embarking on this scholarly journey, students not only glean a profound understanding of the past but also acquire invaluable skills that transcend disciplinary boundaries, paving the way for informed and astute historical inquiry.

Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared to write their Cambridge AS Level History exam at an accredited Cambridge exam centre.
