Government and Politics

Course summary

Have you ever wanted to know how your country was run? Do you have an interest in current affairs? If so, Politics could be the A Level for you. You do not need to have had any previous knowledge of Politics to take this course, and indeed most of our students have never studied Politics before, but if you fancy a new challenge and have an interest then we are happy to have you on board. The course is assessed in an exam built around a series of mini-essays and short answers. It tests similar skills to the rest of the humanities subjects.
