Government and Politics

Course summary

Politics is a stimulating, contemporary subject which gives students valuable insights into British and Global Politics. Political issues influence all aspects of our lives and students are encouraged to develop a keen interest in the way power operates. As a rigorous academic subject, Politics enables students to adopt those skills necessary to succeed at university and in later life. We visit the Westminster Parliament, the local law courts and hold regular mock parliaments in class. We host regular talks with speakers from the political arena providing an opportunity for students to gain an insight into the world of government and politics, and debate contemporary political issues.
