IGCSE History Syllabus

The IGCSE history course focuses on 19th and 20th century history, from an international perspective. The course will develop a candidate’s skills to succeed in history, and prepare them directly for the tasks required by the examination board, as well as broadening their overall historical knowledge and understanding of the world. We can offer students help with learning the original course material, revision assistance for their exams, or essay writing help and exam technique. This consists of giving the candidate:

• an ability to recall, select, organise and deploy knowledge of the syllabus content
• an understanding of change and continuity, cause and consequence, similarity and differences in historical scenarios
• an understanding of the motives, emotions, intentions and beliefs of people in the past
