The new IBDP History syllabus is very flexible, allowing for a wide combination of topics between the three exam papers (Sourcework, Standard Level Essays and Higher Level Essays). However, due to time constraints it is highly advisable to ensure as much overlap between the three papers as possible. With this in mind I have been thinking very carefully and in discussion with my students about how to structure the new course.

This webpage reflects my ongoing thoughts about how to map out a new IBDP History course starting this September according to the demands of the new syllabus. I hope you find it useful. I’d very much welcome any feedback you may have.
