Humanities courses cover a range of disciplines from geography and history to criminology and psychology. The skills gained from studying these subjects – critical thinking, evaluating arguments and communication – are in high demand across all industries.
Choosing a humanities course gives you a solid grounding when applying to university or if you choose to go straight into employment. Mix and match your chosen humanities courses with other A levels for a varied and rounded study programme.
