Course summary

The joy of Politics A level is that it is not a static subject; some ideas and concepts will remain largely the same, but the way in which they are applied to the real world is ever-changing. The course helps students understand and critique UK and world events and provides them with a strong contextual understanding of the world in which they live, preparing them to be truly informed global citizens. Politics involves studying how we order our society, how we distribute power amongst ourselves, and how we administer order and allow for social change. Politics is not remote from everyday life; it is relevant to almost every aspect of the world around us. It is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to understand how the world works, and how they can change it.
