History
History explores key events of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the World Wars, peace treaties, the League of Nations, and the Cold War. Students investigate case studies across the USA, USSR, Germany, and the Middle East, learning to evaluate sources, causes, and consequences of global change.

Geography
Geography examines people, places, and environments at global and local levels. Topics include population growth, settlement patterns, climate, resources, and development. Learners build map and fieldwork skills while exploring issues such as urbanisation, sustainability, and natural hazards.
