Government and Politics

Course summary

There has never been a more exciting - or important - time to study Politics. What difference will Brexit make? What will be the long-term consequences of Donald Trump? What went on during the 2017 general election? Why has all this happened in the last few years? And, most importantly: what difference can YOU, as informed citizens of a liberal democracy, make in the future? Employers and universities alike will be looking for people who can make sense of these major changes in the world, and can exercise the skills that a Politics A Level can provide: an ability to investigate, assess, order and communicate information. Politics provides a good basis for a range of university degrees and careers including law, journalism, politics, and business, and goes well with almost any combination of A Level subjects.
