Political decisions shape all of our lives both in the present and in the future. Every person should be aware of how their system of government operates. Who wields the power, how, and does the system work? You should also be able, as informed citizens, to participate meaningfully in the democratic process. A Level of Politics is an ideal preparation for exercising the privileges that we enjoy as citizens of the United Kingdom or other democratic nations around the world. Moreover, the study of Politics is an exciting intellectual challenge where pupils develop and deploy a variety of skills: debate and discussion, the ability to create an effective argument, to analyse information and to make valid judgements to name but a few. No other course demands such a blend of historical context and contemporary analysis, with pupils consuming both traditional and new media, bringing their ideas and opinions into the classroom to share, debate and consider. The Government and Politics Department is currently in the process of reviewing new A Level specifications for first teaching in September 2017. The current A-Level syllabus is detailed in the assessment section for information.
At the A2 Level, you will have the opportunity to expand your knowledge of contemporary politi cal systems through the study of American Government and Politics. UNIT 4: The Politics of the USA UNIT 5: The Government of the USA
