Politics

Course summary

Politics is the study of power. In today’s changing world, where words like referendum, Brexit and impeachment have become commonplace, understanding who has power and why is vital. The study of politics will allow you to understand the world in which you live, and engage in debates about political systems and ideas. If politics exists because people disagree, studying politics means studying how, why and when people disagree and taking an interest in these disagreements. Therefore, a willingness to debate and discuss, as well as keeping up-to-date with current developments, are vital to the study of politics.
