Why should I study Politics? Understanding and engaging in Politics is vital in order to understand the world around us. Politics is a fundamental part of our society, and understanding not just UK politics, but historical progress of politics and global politics, provides the tools to think critically and engage in important debates going on around us. What does the course look like? Students will study five key units in the A Level course: • UK Politics (democracy, political parties, elections, the media) • UK Government (constitutions, Parliament, the Prime Minister, the Supreme Court) • Core ideologies (Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism) • Non-core ideologies (Feminism, Nationalism) • US Politics (constitution, elections, the President, participation)
