What the college says

Politicians and people in international institutions make huge decisions that affect EVERYONEs lives in every way imaginable. If you care about changing the world for the better, studying politics is a great place to start. As you will find out below, it can be the gateway to some truly remarkable careers. In this fascinating and constantly changing subject, you will learn about how the UK system works, including important theoretical perspectives on how a society should be run and organised. You will learn how the global political system works too and about the big issues of the day, both nationally and globally. You will have the chance to take part in relevant visits, including to Parliament, and are encouraged to undertake related work experience with an MP or pressure group. You will also develop your skills of analysis, argument and evaluation until they are razor sharp. Youll probably never lose an argument again!
