What A level course would involve the skills of history?

Question

I like the skills of " the ability to think clearly; to weigh up arguments and to analyse problems" and did well at it in GCSE History but i don't like the topics studied at A level so was wondering if anyone knew of other courses you can study that would involve them same skills? Need a quick answer! Thanks :)

Answer 1

Sociology, Politics, Maths, Film, Media, IT

Answer 2

Economics is a very good suggestion.

Answer 3

English literature definitely. Sociology, psychology, geography (although not so sure about that one myself), politics, law, RE. Lots of subjects.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Nearly all A-Levels combine at least some of those abilities and attributes. Try English Literature or Language, Art History, Sociology or Psychology or something involving Politics.

Answer 6

A level Literature covers the history of books as well as literary elements, I remember, Robert Bolt's "A Man For All Seasons" and Shakespeare's history plays were also covered, so you would have a bit of a head start. I will leave you with these STUDY GUIDES.

i do A level geography, english literature and psychology and they all require the skills of argument and balance and tonnes of analysing, and they all look at the history of the subject and works. if you're passionate about this, do more research into what the courses offer you at your college and go for it! :)
