Course summary

This course will allow you to explore the hugely diverse world of politics and to examine different voting systems and how countries can improve political participation. You will study what parties stand for, their influence and ability to shape politics. Part of the course includes an investigation into why the United Kingdom does not have a constitution and what we have in its place as well as a study of the role of Parliament, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Furthermore in Year 13 students undertake a depth study of Global politics. This looks at the very foundations of countries – what makes them sovereign? What gives them power? How can countries influence other countries on the world stage? Following on from these questions, how do countries interact with international organisations such as the United Nations, the EU and NATO?
