The History Level 3 Advanced Diploma provides an in-depth exploration of British history, focusing on significant periods and events that have shaped the nation. The course begins with an introduction to the importance of studying history and the methods used by historians to analyze and interpret past events. Students will learn how to critically evaluate historical sources and develop their skills in critical thinking, which is essential for understanding the complexities of history.

The course is divided into several key historical periods, starting with the early history of the UK. This includes the prehistoric era, Roman Britain, Anglo-Saxon England, the Viking invasions, and the Norman Conquest. Each lecture in this section provides a deep dive into the political, cultural, and social changes that shaped early British society. The following sections cover the medieval period, Tudor England, and the turbulent times of the Stuart and Georgian eras. Students will gain insights into the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and the dynamics of Georgian Britain, which set the stage for modern British society.

The course also covers the transformative Industrial Revolution, Victorian Britain, and the impact of the two World Wars, offering a thorough examination of how these events reshaped the UK's political, economic, and social landscape. The study of contemporary UK history examines post-war Britain, the country’s role in the 20th and 21st centuries, and the current challenges facing the nation today.

In addition to learning about historical events, students will undertake a research project where they will choose a historical topic, conduct research, and produce a well-written research paper. This final project allows students to apply their learning and demonstrates their ability to work independently while refining their historical analysis and writing skills.
