Studying your A-Level
History at A-Level is an opportunity to build on your existing knowledge of History.
You will learn how to critically analyse sources and historic accounts and put forward structured arguments.
During your course you will study:
- The Industrialisation of Britain between 1783 and 1885.
- Democracy and Nazism in Germany between the first and second World Wars (1918-1945).
- You will also carry out a historical investigation about a 100 year period of your choice.
As you explore each of these units, you will develop a keen eye for detail, identifying critical moments in the course of history.
You will be challenged to test the robustness of your sources through problem-solving and argue in a structured and balanced way.
Upon completion of the course you will have the demonstratable knowledge required to take your study of history to degree level and beyond.
Getting Started
learndirect is a national leader in distance learning courses. That means you don’t have wait for the post, as all of your course materials can be found in a convenient online portal.
As soon as you enrol with us you can start studying your History A-Level. There’s no need to wait for ‘term’ to start. There are no term dates or class times, just your desire to learn and achieve.
This gives you the flexibility to study when it works for you. You can plan your studies around your existing commitments rather than the other way around. The only specific deadline to work towards is your exam – exam sittings are held once per year in May or June.
But distance learning doesn’t mean you’re doing it by yourself. From the moment you start your course, you will have a tutor assigned to help you. They will provide advice and guidance during your studies. They will also be marking your assignments and giving you comprehensive feedback.
This enables you to make continual, positive progress throughout.
