A-level History: Overview

AS & A-level History Online Course Overview

Cambridge International A-level History online offers students who have an interest in the past and have an appreciation of human endeavour.

A-level History candidates will complete one document question on one option from a European, American or International context. In AS component 2, candidates will answer two essay questions from the selected option. At A-level, candidates study their option and use it to answer a document question, an interpretation question and outline study. They also answer essay questions based on a study area, selected from European, Asian, African, American or International history.

Topics include:

  • A greater knowledge and understanding of historical periods or themes
  • An appreciation of the nature and diversity of historical sources available, and the methods used by historians
  • An exploration of a variety of approaches to different aspects of history and different interpretations of particular historical issues
  • The ability to think independently and make informed judgements on issues
  • An empathy with people living in different places and at different times
  • A firm foundation for further study of History
