Studying history enables us to understand the social and economic forces which have shaped the world we live in today. Were Victorian values a good thing? How has the role of women changed through the ages? Our History course focuses on British social and economic history from 1750 to 1950 and takes you back in time to answer these and many other questions.
Each lesson of the course contains numerous thought-provoking activities, reinforced with a wealth of illustrations, diagrams and summaries.

From the moment I applied to Oxford Open learning for IGCSE History (and now A level History) I found my Student Adviser Carolyn to be prompt, courteous and helpful: nothing was too much trouble and it was an altogether informative experience. Having had experience with distance learning with the Open University for 10 years, Oxford Open Learning have been by far the most supportive. I would say to anyone thinking about distance learning, it is most important to plan your study time and be committed and you won’t regret it.The feeling of achievement on receiving an A on results day was thrilling.
