This IGCSE History course guides students through the fascinating journey of human development, conflict, and transformation from ancient civilisations to contemporary global politics. With a strong focus on analytical skills and historical interpretation, students learn to evaluate sources, understand cause and effect, and form their own evidence-based arguments. The course begins with an introduction to historical methods, helping learners build the foundation for understanding and engaging with complex historical narratives.

As the curriculum progresses, students explore the causes and consequences of major 20th-century conflicts, including World War I and World War II, the Cold War, and the process of decolonisation. Through a comparative and thematic lens, learners also delve into civil rights struggles, women's movements, and the impact of political revolutions. Special attention is given to British history, from the Industrial Revolution to Brexit, as well as the lasting legacy of ancient civilisations such as Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, and the Islamic Golden Age.

In addition to covering historical knowledge, the course places emphasis on developing transferable academic skills such as source evaluation, essay writing, and comparative analysis. It encourages students to think critically about how history is written, whose perspectives are included, and how past events continue to influence today’s societies. With structured assessments and exam preparation techniques, this course equips learners with both the knowledge and confidence to succeed in the IGCSE History examination and beyond.
