Government and Politics

Entry Requirements

Since assessment is based on written papers, containing structured questions and essays, an ability to write clearly in well-structured prose is desirable. The course will appeal to pupils who are interested in debate and those who relish the combination of following global and domestic current affairs with a simultaneous focus on the development of political thought, mainly from the 18th century onwards. Political thought will be studied through a focus on topics ranging liberalism through to conservatism, socialism and anarchism.
