AIMS Ancient History is concerned with studying people, societies and civilisations of the past, from the development of the earliest human communities to the end of the Middle Ages. Students explore the interaction of societies and the impact of individuals and groups on ancient events and ways of life, enriching their appreciation of humanity and the relevance of the ancient past. Ancient History highlights how the world has changed, as well as the significant legacies that exist into the present. A study of the past is invaluable in providing students with opportunities to explore their fascination with and curiosity about stories of the past and the mysteries of human behaviour. Students will be assessed using a variety of methods including examinations, written assignment work, oral presentations, digital submissions and multimodal presentations.
