The basic intent of the sentence seems to be that you would like to cite evidence as to why your past should not be held against you in detemining your future, but you don't say what these "past events" are. First, the term "background" may not be the best and secondly, it is not so much you want to defend your past as it is you wish to have negative consideration of your past situation overridden by a more positive consideration of your present circumstances. You could try:
"Despite some past difficulties with the course material, I would like you to note my current success with the x, y, z, etc. modules."
or
"Although I have had some personal problems, I would like to point out that I have successfully passed the x, y, z modules."
where x, y, z in each example are the names of the modules you're referring to

I would like to inform you of the modules I have passed as a defence to my background.
The following modules I have passed are a defence to my background.
Defence is negative, you seem to be admitting some type of wrong doing. Even if this is the case don't remind those you are writing the letter to.
Try:
The following modules I have passed support my backgound.
