Topics studied may include:
Treaty to War - What happened in the first ten years after the signing of the Treaty and how did the Treaty result in the outbreak of war?
New Zealand Land Wars - research into an aspect of the New Zealand Wars
Traitors, Spies and Zealots- England's Golden Age of Elizabeth I? - A study of the reign of Elizabeth I of England and how religious reform led to plots against Elizabeth which resulted in the persecution of Roman Catholics.
If a student achieves 14 Level 3 credits in this course it will be counted as an approved subject for University Entrance. This course includes 25 reading credits and 10 writing credits for University Literacy.
