What the college says

A Level Politics at St John's follows the Edexcel syllabus. The course is taught by an interesting balance of methods ranging through video, debates and supported by self-study. Motivation and self-discipline are vital for personal research using original sources. The content is focused on British and US politics. In Year 13 we also look at the differing political ideologies which exist such as liberalism, socialism and conservatism.

What you need to get on

Thorough research skills and a coherent writing style are essential. You must have enthusiasm and self- discipline to question and work for yourself. We consider all applicants seriously but would expect you to have achieved grade 5 or above in GCSE English Language last year. If this is not the case, we would look at your case with particular reference to your grades in related subject areas such as History, Geography and Business Studies.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
