Course summary

In recent years we have seen referenda on the future of the United Kingdom and our nation’s membership of the European Union. Additionally we have seen unprecedented interest levels in current affairs with the ever-changing global political landscape. Political decisions shape our lives now and in the future and for that reason alone it is of vital importance that young people are aware of how our government operates and what it means to be a politically active and informed citizen. A Level Government and Politics is the ideal subject to increase your awareness of issues in the world around you. Government and politics complements a range of other subjects at A Level, for example geography, PRE, history, business, languages and sociology.
