In addition to academic qualifications, potential historians should also have a strong interest in the subject and be able to demonstrate their enthusiasm and commitment. This can be done by taking part in extra-curricular activities such as history clubs or societies, or by writing about history for pleasure.
Here are some of the A-level subjects that are most commonly required for history programs:
* History
* English
* Politics
* Economics
* Sociology
* Anthropology
* Archaeology
It is important to note that the specific entry requirements for history programs can vary from university to university. Therefore, it is important to check the entry requirements for the specific programs you are interested in before applying.
In addition to A-levels, some universities may also consider other qualifications, such as:
* International Baccalaureate (IB)
* Advanced Placement (AP) exams
* Scottish Higher examinations
* Irish Leaving Certificate
If you are not sure whether you meet the entry requirements for a history program, you should contact the admissions office of the university you are interested in.
