What the college says

If you have a particular interest in current affairs, and a willingness to read newspaper articles, watch and listen to news and political programmes on all platforms of media and social media, A Level Politics may be a great course choice for you. You do not have to be a political expert in order to study the subject and you do not need to have taken the subject at GCSE – a curiosity to find out more is often a good starting point if you are considering Politics as an option. This subject involves a lot of reading and written work. Most of the marks in the A Level examinations are awarded for questions that require long written answers.

Five GCSEs at grade 5 or better for a 3 A level programme. Other entry requirements may apply for each subject

How you are assessed

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
