GCE in History

Our GCE History allows students to study a subject that is academically rigorous and yet relevant to today’s society and economy.

Over the two year course students are presented with around 100 years of history, and throughout the course they develop a coherent understanding of the important themes within that period. Events, individuals and issues are examined from a range of historical perspectives (cultural, economic, political and social), and students learn how multi-causal and complex events and actions actually are.

GCE History develops the analytical, argumentation, communication and evaluation skills that are so highly prized by today’s employers. With these skills in hand, history students are positioned for success in a host of careers, including those in communications, research, politics, law, financial planning, and education.
