A-Level Ancient History — Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in each year of A-Level Ancient History?

In a typical course order the first year covers Greek History (Depth) and Roman History (Depth), and the second covers Greek History (Period) and Roman History (Period). The papers, their weighting and how the AS relates to the full A Level differ by board, so lessons follow your board's specification. Second-year content builds on the first, which is why gaps left in the first year tend to surface later.

What does A-Level Ancient History cover?

Across the two years the course covers 4 units: Greek History (Depth), Roman History (Depth), Greek History (Period) and Roman History (Period). Unit names and grouping vary by board.

How long does A-Level Ancient History tutoring take?

It depends on where you are starting. Students working alongside school through the year often take one lesson a week; students revising for a resit or repairing one part of the course usually work in a shorter, more intensive block. Which suits you is agreed on the free intro call.
