Politics

Politics A level is an exciting course which gives students the opportunity to find out about our larger than life political leaders, how the political system works and how ordinary people can get involved in the political process. There's lots of opportunity for discussion and debate, but the written skills needed are just as rigorous as for any A' Level. Students would be interested in studying Politics if they have a keen interest in current affairs and changes in the world around them, and if they enjoy argument and discussion on political issues. As well as providing students with an increased understanding of how government in their own and other countries work, the course provides excellent training for a variety of higher education courses in that it helps students develop their ability to support and sustain an argument in both written and oral form, and to listen to and appreciate a variety of points of view.
