It depends. A levels tackle specific areas of a topic pretty intensively, wheras degrees give you a big broad understanding. But since you need A levels to go onto a degree, then degrees do need more work.
I've seen the History degree syllabuses and they don't look that hard. I did it at A level and instead of doing broad studies, we just did a 30 yr period of history and studied that to fuck for a year until we were a genius on that topic, and did a different one the second year. Didn't really give us a broad knowledge of history, so unless you're asked about that topic you couldn't hold your own in a conversation, but it taught us the research skills etc. A degree is what you need to be able to hold your own on any topic of your subject. A history degree student would know a fair bit about virtually any period of the last millenium, wheras I did A levels and basically know shitloads about the rise of fascism and nazism in Europe, but not a lot else.
I'm not going to Uni now though so it doesn't matter.
