What the college says

Politics offers fresh and interesting subject matter which requires students to think critically about the key issues and events of the day. The world is changing. Britain is in a state of considerable flux, with changing and contrasting relationships with the USA and European Union, while internal politics struggle to address the fundamental conflicts that all developed societies encounter. A sound knowledge of global and national politics, and the frameworks and ideologies that underpin them, enable students to understand the world around them and to successfully engage with it. Politics is a course for those interested in understanding power and people and who want to debate the big issues of today. It is for those who want to speak out and be counted!
