Where does it lead?

This subject is very useful for those wishing to take Social Science degrees and for students interested in working in politics, the law or social policy.

Other information

This course would suit students already taking Law, Politics or Sociology. It would also be a refreshing change for any other student! As part of the course you will take part in an Active Citizenship Project and will use this practical experience to explore the meaning of Citizenship today.

This AS combines elements of Law, Politics and Sociology. Students will be encouraged to feel more confident about discussing social, political, legal and cultural issues. This subject is based on practice as well as theory, so trips to Parliament, Law Courts and conferences form an integral part of the course. The College's flourishing Politics Society will also give you plenty of opportunity to hear and debate the main issues of the day.
