Overview

African Kingdoms and Heritage History Course

The African Kingdoms and Heritage History Course presents a broad and engaging study of History that places African civilizations at the center of global development. Through the lenses of Ancient history, Medieval history, Social Science, and Anthropology, this course explores how African societies shaped political systems, cultural identities, and economic networks across centuries. History is approached as a connected story, where Ancient history foundations influence Medieval history transformations, and Social Science and Anthropology help explain how people lived, governed, and expressed belief.

By weaving together History with Social Science and Anthropology, the course highlights Africa’s role in world History while remaining easy to follow and clearly structured. Ancient history themes such as early state formation sit alongside Medieval history discussions of trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange, allowing History to feel cohesive, balanced, and relevant within broader Social Science and Anthropology contexts.

Using Social Science perspectives, it examines power, economy, and social organization, while Anthropology reveals how traditions, art, and belief systems preserved History across generations.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
