Government & Politics

UPDATED 20161012 09:56:32

We live in a modern world of many new and exciting concepts, coupled with established ideas of conservatism and liberalism. Globalisation, the ramifications of Brexit, Cameron’s dramatic resignation, considerations of a second Scottish Independence Referendum, the rise of the Right in Europe, a British Bill of Rights, Trump vs Clinton, the leadership of the Labour Party under Corbyn, plus the rise of international terrorism, and much much more, will all be addressed in this exciting course which gives students a clear understanding of the world in which they live. At AS, students will be well informed about the constitution of the UK and how the country is governed as well as being guided to research and critique the role of the media in politics and how democracy works. A2 offers the opportunities to engage with political ideologies, American Politics and Global Politics. An A Level in Politics is well regarded by universities and employers due to the analytical and discursive nature of the course. Studying Politics is an excellent foundation for students who intend to study Politics, Law, History or Economics at University. It provides an excellent academic foundation for those intending to go into the Legal, Journalistic, Business or Political sector.
