Government and Politics

Course summary

The development of individual political literacy has never been so important, and collective political awareness is essential if communities are to steer their way through the economic, social and environmental issues that we are confronted with. After all, politics shapes our lives at a local, national and global level. A Level Politics equips you with the skills and understanding required to navigate through the often polarised and exaggerated views that cloud many of the essential debates that are taking place in our society. Our course covers UK government and politics, US politics and a range of important political theories such as conservatism, feminism, liberalism and socialism.
