What the college says

Lively; relevant; controversial. There is no denying that Politics is one of the most interesting and engaging qualifications that you can choose. This is especially true with Trump's presidency and Brexit generating such widespread interest and controversy, not to mention the current UK government propped up by a controversial and divisive Northern Irish party in the form of the DUP. This course focusses on news and current affairs from the UK and US and will help you to understand how each country is run. It also develops research, written communication and debating skills and helps grow your confidence. Course requirements - 5 GCSE's at Grades 9-4 including English Language
