What Will I Learn?

The AS course is divided into two separate modules:

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 A2 in the second year of study also covers two modules one of which is a piece of coursework of approx. 4,000 words. This is worth 20% of the final mark and is submitted in March of the A2 year.

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