Politics is an electrifying field of study that captivates anyone with a passion for current affairs and a curiosity about the rapidly evolving political landscape of the 21st century. By diving into the world of Politics, you will not only engage with contemporary political debates but also develop a nuanced understanding of critical issues that impact our lives on both a national and global scale. The course begins by laying a strong foundation in political knowledge, guiding students through the essential ideas, processes, and relationships that shape political systems and influence the daily lives of citizens. Politics in the UK is studied in the context of the EU and the wider world. In the first year, you will explore the intricate workings of the UK political system, focusing on core concepts such as democracy, political participation, and the influence of party policies. You’ll dive into the electoral process, scrutinising how elections are conducted and the role of pressure groups in shaping public policy. As you investigate key institutions like the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Parliament, and the Constitution, you’ll gain insight into the delicate balance of power and the importance of judges and civil liberties. In the second year, the course takes an exhilarating turn into Global Politics, where you’ll analyse critical issues such as national sovereignty, conflict, poverty, environmental challenges, and human rights. This exploration will equip you with a deeper understanding of global governance and the complex dynamics of international relations, encouraging you to think critically about how countries interact and collaborate on pressing global challenges. With its blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, A-Level Politics prepares provides the tools, knowledge, and confidence to navigate the intricate world of politics and become an informed citizen ready to engage in meaningful discourse.
