Politics dominates our lives. From decisions about whether to go to war to decisions about university fees, politicians make choices that impact on us as individuals and as a society. Advanced Level Politics enables students to understand how and why those decisions are made and what role different people play in that process. Over two years students will study the political systems of the UK and the USA. There will be plenty of opportunity to debate controversial issues and explore different points of view, both in lessons and with visiting speakers. Students have been invited to appear on local radio news to discuss political stories. Students will also have the chance to visit the Houses of Parliament and Washington DC. Even if you are not planning to become Prime Minister, A Level Government and Politics is still excellent preparation for a wide range of courses at degree level, particularly in humanities and social sciences. It is a wellregarded qualification for anyone considering a career in politics, public relations, journalism and the media, law, teaching or business
