So, I've been accepted into two sixth forms, one of which's history course consists of:
Lancastrians, Yorkists and Tudors 1450–1509
The German Reformation 1517-1555
In Year 13, students will study TWO units:
Elizabeth I 1558-1603
Russia and its Rulers 1855-1964
and the other schools history course is:
In Year 12, students will study:
Unit 1
The Early Stuarts and the Origins of the Civil War 1603- 1660 (Enquiry Topic: The Execution of Charles 1 and the Interregnum1646-1660)
Unit 2
Russia 1894-1941
In Year 13, students will study:
Unit 3
China and its Rulers 1839-19189
Unit 4 Topic-Based Essay
As I done Cold War, Nazi Germany, Race Relations and 1920s America for GCSE, I'm a bit worried that if I pick one of the history courses at a school I won't enjoy it as much as I would if it was leaning more to modern history (if that makes sense) Like the second history course I showed kind of has more aspects of history I'm used to because of the Russian and Chinese topics we'll be learning about whereas course number 1 barely has modern history and is focussed more on older history I'm not that accustomed too. I have no idea if I'm making sense but I need help choosing the school! A level history students, were you skeptical about doing the subject at A level because of that schools course topics too?
(wow this is really long, sorry)
