Module 1 covers - Politics & Government in Wales and England, 1780-1832 and Economic & Social Change and Popular Protest, 1815-1848. Module 2 focuses on The Third Reich, 1933–1945.

The final module covers topics drawn from British history and European history. These are examined at the end of the A2 year.
