Two main Units comprise 80% of the final A Level: the British Empire, 1857-1967, and Germany 1918-45. Finally, 20% of the qualification is made up of a coursework unit on the origins of America.

Two written Exams and Non-Exam Assessment (NEA); Paper 1 - 40% of A Level, Paper 2 - 40% of A Level, NEA- 20% of A Level
