What the college says

If you have a curiosity about why the UK and wider world is like it is, Politics is a smart choice. If you enjoy debating big questions, or listening to debates, then the subject offers lots of chances for discussion. It is important that you are keen to follow developments in the news, whether on TV, in a newspaper or on your phone, because Politics is constantly changing, and our course has to keep up to date with developments. Politics is assessed through essays, so you need to be prepared to work to develop your written style so you can argue convincingly. Politics links with a very wide range of subjects.
