HISTORY

Cambridge IGCSE  History offers the opportunity to study world history from the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. It encourages learners to raise questions and to develop and deploy historical skills, knowledge, and understanding in order to provide historical explanations. Learners will explore history from a diversity of perspectives, including social, economic, cultural, and political, and are given the opportunity to:

• appreciate historical evidence and how to use it
• gain a greater understanding of international issues and inter-relationships
