Politics A Level Level 3, Full Time, 2 years 3

Summary

“Does voting change anything? Who should be able to vote? How am I supposed to know who or what to vote for? Do politicians have to do what I want or what they say they’ll do? Can anyone stop them from doing whatever they want? How can I make them listen to me?” Politics will help you to answer questions like these and many more.

The first year of the course is about how people can take part in politics and how the UK political system works. In the second year you will study political ideologies ranging from conservatism to feminism and in the second half of the ear you will study global politics, covering issues ranging from climate change to the EU. Studying Politics will help you to understand why society works in the way that it does. You will develop your skills in debating, analysis and written communication. Politics goes well with subjects which encourage debate, reading and essay writing.
