AS Level History International Relations

The AS Level History course with a specialisation in International Relations provides a comprehensive and adaptable exploration of modern history across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Designed to build upon the foundational skills honed during the International GCSE level, this course serves as a springboard for the cultivation of enduring skills crucial for historical inquiry. It places equal emphasis on the enrichment of historical knowledge and the refinement of the analytical skills indispensable for rigorous historical research.

Throughout this course, students are guided to dissect cause-and-effect relationships, discern patterns of continuity and change, identify similarities and disparities, and adeptly employ historical evidence as a linchpin of their scholarly investigations. This approach nurtures a comprehensive understanding of historical eras and nurtures the ability to critically engage with complex historical narratives.

The curriculum provides students with the flexibility to choose from a diverse array of topics, encompassing European, American, or International history, allowing for a focused exploration of specific historical contexts. By embarking on this intellectual journey, students not only glean profound insights into the past but also acquire invaluable skills that extend beyond the confines of historical study, equipping them to conduct informed and discerning historical research.

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