2024 is the year to study Politics. With a guaranteed US Presidential election, and highly anticipated UK General Election there is no better time to study the subject! What is the Electoral College and why is it so important? Why did the US Presidential Election result take so long to come in? What was the issue with the ‘ mail-in ballots’ in the US Presidential Election? What could a second Trump term look like? What is ‘Devolution’? What does the House of Commons do? What is the United Kingdom likely to look like after Brexit? How does Politics affect me? These questions and issues are addressed as part of the course. Politics is everything, and everywhere. It affects your education, the healthcare you receive, and the level of taxation you pay and influences how the United Kingdom interacts with other countries around the world. On a two-year rotation, we have core course trips to London (Houses of Parliament, UK Supreme Court & Government Departments) and the University of Hull A-level Politics conference. We are also exploring the opportunity to visit Washington DC and New York in 2025-26. We take great pride in supporting students to gain work experience in Politics and introducing them to MPs, Lords, journalists, civil servants and leading academics in their field. We have an active Senior Current Affairs Society which meets weekly to discuss UK and world events.
A keen interest in current and world affairs is essential. Students are required to have a grade 6 at GCSE in English and/or History.
There are three exams in A Level Politics, each worth a third of the total qualification. Two exams are on UK Politics and Political Ideology. The third exam is on American Politics.
