A Standard Grade History tutor, Intermediate History tutor or Higher History tutor makes a unique contribution to the student's education. Study of the History curriculum contributes to candidates’ understanding of the society in which they live and work by helping them to appreciate the ways in which important aspects of that society have developed in the past, both nationally and internationally. This historical understanding will in turn assist them in functioning as effective contributors to and responsible citizens within that society, as well as giving them more individual confidence in their social and professional lives.

A History tuition course is designed to provide for both breadth and depth within a balanced historical experience that includes Scottish, British and European/World contexts. Options cover topics from the Medieval, Early Modern and Later Modern periods and include elements of political, social, economic and cultural history. This structured approach and understanding can be applied to other historical and contemporary settings and issues, while the Units themselves should be of interest to a wide range of adults as well as school candidates.

Higher History Course Units are studied in terms of a number of key issues. The British and European/World Study Units focus on historical understanding and analysis through structured and extended writing, while the Scottish History Unit focuses on historical understanding and analysis through the interpretation, evaluation and comparison of sources of historical evidence. In addition, through their work on the Extended Essay in particular, candidates are encouraged to take more independent responsibility for their own learning.

The skills developed in studying the Higher History Course build upon those involved at Standard Grade and/or Intermediate 2 – research and note-taking, source evaluation, critical thinking, debate and communication, empathy and imagination, structured and extended writing, and the use of information technology – which are extremely useful across a wide variety of applications and careers.

Particular skills learned through Standard Grade History lessons, Intermediate History lessons and Higher History lessons include:
• researching and analysing complex events
• structuring and sustaining lines of reasoned argument which reflect the complexity of the issues being addressed
• thinking critically and presenting clear and balanced conclusions
• evaluating historical sources in terms of authorship/origin, possible purpose, content and context
• participating in discussion and debate, through which democratic attitudes of open-mindedness and tolerance are fostered

With its unique appeal to a sense of historical development and understanding, and its promotion of high order skills, History at Standard Grade, Intermediate and Higher level makes a vital contribution to any well-balanced curriculum whether based on Arts, Humanities or Science.

The Higher History exam is divided into three mandatory Units dealing with Scottish, British and European and World history:
• F8K0 12: Historical Study: British
• F8K1 12: Historical Study: European and World
• F8K2 12: Scottish History
