Are you thinking about studying History at A-Level? Then if you love learning about past events, choosing A-Level History is the perfect choose for you.

Here’s 3 reasons why:

INCREASE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

This International A-Level course will help you develop your knowledge about key political, social and economic features of developments in Europe since 1774 (depending on which topics are chosen to study). This section focuses on the developments and changes over a specific timescale. You’ll also be able to explore how modern Europe developed and the Cold War which dominated the second half of the 20th Century.

GAIN TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

Studying International A-Level History not only helps improve your knowledge of the past, but it also helps you gain skills that are invaluable in many jobs. Some of these skills include analysing, researching, communication and problem-solving. You’ll also gain the ability to prioritise information and learn how to make vital decisions. This helps you to build a important skill-set needed for progression into university or a career.
