What the college says

"No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly." Donald Trump "Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress.... But I repeat myself." Mark Twain "The price good people pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil people." Plato A Level Politics is a good choice for students considering a career in the professions, or those who simply want to understand how the world works. Politics goes well with Economics, History, Sociology and English. Politics does not just appeal to Social Science students, however: increasingly Art and Drama students have enrolled to study Government and Politics, giving them a broader perspective on the world.
