Government and Politics

Course summary

Politics might seem like a dry subject, but once you start to think about what MPs actually do all day, it isn’t. Anyone concerned about the stories behind the news will be interested in studying Politics. Law and order, levels of unemployment, immigration, the education system, the use of Britain’s armed forces - these are just a few of the questions that politicians should answer for you. Is our Prime Minister effective? Is crime getting worse? Are there enough jobs for you when you leave school? Is our country fair and equal for all? If you care about these, this course is for you.
