Politics combines well with a range of social science and humanities subjects to lead to university courses in such areas as business, economics, law, media, philosophy and, of course, politics. Careers in banking, insurance, the Civil Service, marketing and journalism are also possibilities. To study Politics at A level you need to have a lively and enquiring mind, an interest in politics and current affairs, a desire to explore new ideas and an ability to communicate your opinions effectively.
Students who wish to study GCE Advanced level courses are required to have passed at least five GCSE or equivalent level two courses at grades 5-9 including a minimum of grade 6 in the subjects they wish to study. Most students attempting A level courses will have more than this minimum. In subjects not taught at GCSE a 5 in a related subject is required (for example, a 5/6 in English would enable a student to study Politics). All students entering year 12 would normally be expected to have achieved GCSE Grades 9 – 4 in English and Mathematics. Students without these qualifications will be helped to attain them early in their year 12 programme.
