What the college says

A LEVEL GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS Through the study of Edexcel A Level Government and Politics, students develop a deep understanding of all aspects of Britain's political system, such as the role and nature of political parties, elections, parliament and the judiciary, as well as a detailed insight into four key political ideologies: conservatism, socialism, liberalism and feminism.
