Sooner than you think, you will be paying taxes, doing jury service, obeying an ever-increasing range of regulations, having your rights challenged and of course, having the vote. Studying politics is the best way of understanding all of these things. You will learn why voting is important, what the various parties stand for and what pressure groups are. You will look into the world of Parliament and of Members of Parliament and see the inside of government. We also examine human rights and how well they are defended by the courts. Politics is a well-respected qualification accepted by all universities and well suited to a very wide range of career choices.
