Government and Politics allows students to develop a broad knowledge and understanding of the political structure of the UK, the factors influencing participation in the political process, and a solid appreciation of a range of ideological perspectives in politics. Politics is an integral element of people's lives, whether or not they are aware of it, and students will come to appreciate both the essential processes of government and the competing voices in the struggle for power. Students are expected to have a general interest in political issues, and general current affairs, and to be curious about the political arena. It is not a requirement to have followed any particular GCSE course, though any of the Humanities subjects will provide a good grounding.
