What the college says

A level Politics at KGV reflects the demands of a truly modern and evolving political environment in the UK and around the world. Our course includes a broad range of relevant and contemporary ideas, institutions, processes and issues to support learning about politics. Assessments will develop your skills in critical thinking and analysis, using a variety of question types, sources and materials and consists of three externally examined papers. Component One looks at �UK Politics and Core Political Ideas�, covering four main content areas including democracy and participation, political parties, electoral systems and voting behaviour and the media. You will also study a variety of political beliefs, gaining insight into socialism, conservatism and liberalism. Component Two is based on the �UK Government and Non-Core Political Ideas' where students examine the roles and relationships of the UK constitution, Parliament, Prime Minister, Supreme Court and European Union. Non-core political ideas such as Feminism, Multiculturalism or Nationalism may also be analysed in this component. The final component then allows you to explore and investigate the world of global politics. You will gain an understanding of abstract political concepts through grounding them in contemporary real-world examples, with case studies that will develop an international awareness and knowledge of multiple perspectives.
