A Level Politics will provide you with a sharp and highly developed understanding of developments in both domestic and global politics, together with an appreciation of the political theory that underpins both. Since the course is very reliant on essay writing, pupils will develop the skill to write well in both timed and extended pieces of work, as well as learning the importance of higher order research skills.
A grade 7 in a humanities subject is required.
The A Level specification comprises three written examinations. Unit One will focus on UK Politics and include core ideas such as Liberalism, Conservatism and Socialism. Unit Two will then focus on UK Government and involve an investigation of one idea derived from a choice including Anarchism, Ecologism, Feminism, Multiculturalism or Nationalism. At Warwick we study either Feminism or Nationalism. The third unit will involve a detailed study of Global Politics including the United Nations, the changing balance of global power, globalisation and the environment.
