Government and Politics

Entry Requirements

Global Politics is a subject that should appeal to pupils who take an active interest in current affairs. A good standard of written English is essential to success in both the examination and the coursework elements of the assessment. Some of the skills needed are similar to those you may have developed when studying History or other Humanities subjects earlier in your school career (e.g. essay writing, data response). Global Politics combines well with subjects such as English, History, Economics and Modern Languages. Those opting to pursue Higher Level courses in a number of non-humanities subjects might consider taking this course as a complimentary subject. Pupils taking up the Subject in the Lower Sixth will normally be expected to have achieved at least a grade 8 in GCSE English and at least one other Humanities subject (e.g. History, Geography, or Religious Studies).
