Government and Politics

Course summary

Politics at KGS is in all senses of the word a 'dynamic' subject. The changing political landscape means that a critical, inquiry-based approach is essential Each year we invite high-profile speakers to debate with us. In recent years we have hosted MPs including Zac Goldsmith, Tonia Antoniazzi and Ed Davey. Our students are encouraged to take the initiative in furthering their political education by, for example, gaining holiday time work experience at Westminster or in an MP's constituency office, perhaps learning the rudiments of campaigns or helping in research. Apart from the academic side, you will have many opportunities to immerse yourselves fully in this living subject. Politics has never been more relevant and important than it is today.
