What the college says

It is without doubt a very exciting time to be studying politics. The pandemic, Brexit, the rapidly growing influence of social media on people's attitudes to democracy and politics in general, mean that 'old certainties' are breaking down. The UK may no longer be straightforwardly a two-party system in which Labour and the Conservatives dominate, the United Kingdom may break up under the strain of post-Brexit life and America may no longer be the dominant world power it once was. We get the chance to learn about, debate and consider all of these things and more as we take a look at the politics of the UK and the USA. If you enjoy current affairs and debating the world as it is and you want to learn more, this course could be for you. It is rooted in everyday life and will equip you with a greater understanding of the world around you.
