Politics is a fascinating subject that uncovers the institutional foundations behind many of the political events that affect us today. It is also about power and how it is dispersed, given up, entrusted and removed. This is why we have governments! There are no absolute or perfect views to take or make about the underlying reasons for events; therefore it appeals to those who like debate and thinking deeply about the power of arguments rather than just taking a superficial view. Indeed, the ability to write a carefully crafted and fluid series of arguments, with robust evidence is a key feature of the course.
Grade 7 or above in History at GCSE, or in English Language
All four units will be examined through both short-answer questions, testing detailed knowledge, and essay questions, testing the ability to produce pieces of sustained argument on political issues. There is also an extract question, which asks for an evaluative response to a political opinion
