What the college says

Individuals today are bombarded with soundbites of information designed to discourage critical thought and simplify complex social and political issues. Social media echo-chambers mean individuals are at risk of becoming increasingly narrow in their understanding and interpretation of society-changing events. It is all too easy to agree without thought, retweet without analysis and cite unsubstantiated opinion as fact. In such a climate, it is more essential than ever that young people are versed in a political literacy that allows them to explore these issues sensitively, critically and�with authority. You are the people who will�guide, challenge and drive the policies of the future, whether this is through an explicit career pathway into the political sector or as an informed citizen exercising your democratic rights.
