What the college says

Politics is a subject which draws a great deal upon the developments of the present and recent past and is being constantly updated. We will make good use of a variety of textbooks but also rely on the use of TV, radio and the press. The course is designed to encourage you to analyse and criticise and we therefore promote active discussion to develop an understanding of what has been read, seen and heard. Likewise, you will have opportunities for individual research of various kinds and will be able to present work in a variety of ways e.g. talks and wall presentations, not just essays!
