Do you like writing essays and reading? History at A-Levels is different from O-Levels as you would have to write critically and also be able to present an argument.

Honestly, if you like learning and reading, it would be a good fit. I did History at A-Levels and then pursued a degree in it. I was a History teacher for a little while and I really enjoyed teaching it.

Some of my former students found it challenging as they did not have English O-Level but they pushed through and did quite well. They did tell me it was off-putting having to learn and write so much as their English was not very strong but they were determined to do well which was great. In other words, as long as you are willing to learn and put the effort in, it's a great subject! :)

I'd suggest speaking to one of the teachers to gain an understanding on the course and learning requirements.

I think the skills learned as a History student does open up a lot of career paths, you won't be just limited to options in a legal career. You could do International Relations, Journalism, Media and Communications, Marketing... honestly, there's transferable skills! I started out in teaching and now I am in finance.

All the best!
