The A-Level course is a new specification provided by AQA that is both informative and enjoyable. It provides an excellent introduction and overview of British politics as well as global political issues. There are two modules during AS and a further two done during year 13 at A2. These are outlined below: AS People, Politics and Participation-This looks at why people get involved in politics, why people vote the way they do and how class, ethnicity and religion can affect the way people get involved in politics in Britain. This also focuses on protest and pressure groups and the way they can affect political outcomes. Governing Modern Britain- This section looks into the way the British political system is organised and run, such as the workings of parliament and the attitudes and policies of the main political parties. A2 The politics of the USA- A chance to compare our political system with another of the great world democracies. This will be a critical approach to the US political system which will allow students to analyse and understand the US system in the same way as they have our own. Ideologies in Action- This section will look at how party ideologies and ideals have developed, and why parties and pressure groups believe what they do. This also provides scope to look at the more extremist sections of world politics and why they stand where they do on the political spectrum.
