If you feel it is important to understand the relationship between political ideas and political institutions, then this is the course for you! A study of Politics will provide you with the skills to become more critically aware of the nature of politics and political ideas both in the UK and the USA. You will study several core political concepts, such as democracy, socialism, liberalism and feminism. Politics is an academically rigorous subject that will give you the chance to argue your point of view cogently and persuasively and present a well-turned argument, both on paper and orally. The emphasis will be on analysis and investigation. Politics combines especially well with History, Economics, Languages, Classics and Geography but also has a significant contribution to make to the understanding of Maths and the Sciences.
• At least 5 GCSEs at either 8 or 9 and three grades at 7. • GCSE grade 8 or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. • GCSE grade 7 or above in Mathematics and English Language. • For two science A Levels, or Maths alongside science, at least a grade 8 will be needed in both subjects. There are no requirements for particular subjects at GCSE; instead, you should have an enquiring mind and a zeal for current affairs. You should be keen to participate in active debate and have strong powers of expression. You will be expected to keep up-to-date with current affairs and read articles from newspapers and journals. You should also be able to evaluate both sides of an argument.
