A Level of Politics gives students the opportunity to develop an understanding of political theories and systems. It offers a fascinating opportunity to explore both ideas and practice, with particular reference to the UK. It gives students an opportunity to enter the realm of political philosophy through the examination of political theories and by examining how each ideology addresses questions such as: What is human nature? What do we mean by equality? How important is freedom? The second year of the source examines different perspectives on global politics. We live in a complex world with significant challenges, including global terrorism, poverty, economic instability, weapons proliferation, failing states and environmental degradation. These challenges require global cooperation if they are to be resolved. Global politics gives students an opportunity to develop an understanding of the local, national, international and global dimensions of political activity.
Ideally a good grade in English GCSE. You need to be interested in the world of politics (even if you don’t yet know that much about it!); a good knowledge of History would be an advantage.
There are 3 written exams, each of which is two hours long.
