Government and Politics

Entry Requirements

Since this is a new subject for all students, there are no formal requirements and no prior knowledge will be assumed. However, students require a good standard of written English, an interest in current affairs would be advantageous and a willingness to join in discussion. Successful candidates are those who are able to use their study time effectively to develop their knowledge and understanding of current political debate. As such there is an expectation that students read newspapers, journals and watch television news as well as use social media to supplement the course materials.
