Government and Politics

Course summary

Politics will appeal to students who have an interest in the drama that is happening everyday in this country and around the world as we have seen in Brexit and Trump. The subject is also about people and arguments so there is always something intellectual to debate. A Level Politics mixes a strong theoretical academic challenge with a very applied real-world appreciation of life. It also provides the opportunity to develop important skills, particularly communication and the ability to argue clearly and confidently. There are many career options available for those who have studied Politics, including law; media; local or national government; journalism; the Civil Service and think tanks or lobbying organisations.
