Politics and Government is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to get behind the headlines. It is well respected by top universities and requires both historical depth and for students to study in real time and be up to the minute. Students learn how to analyse evidence and arguments, discuss and argue from an informed point of view and communicate effectively. Studying Politics allows you to hear a wide range of opinions in lively class debates and helps you to understand fundamental things about our society. It is particularly useful for those going on to study any of the humanities or social sciences and the analytical and communication skills acquired are transferable to careers in journalism, publishing, law, the civil service, pressure groups, political consultancy, education or business. Previous students have gone on to become the editor of Euro magazine, a barrister, a financial consultant in the City of London, an advisor to John Prescott, a Member of the European Parliament, and research assistants to Jeremy Paxman and the ex-minister David Lammy.
