Studying Politics means asking the big questions. Who governs? Why do they govern? How should they govern? What should society look like? To answer these, we study both British and American politics, drawing comparisons between how the two countries are governed. Alongside this we study key political ideas and ideologies. Throughout the subject students improve both their subject knowledge and intellectual skills and have countless opportunities to discuss those issues they feel strongly about.
