The study of Government and Politics A level is an ideal choice for anyone interested in learning about current affairs and the world around them. It would suit any student who likes to debate current issues, both those who have set opinions and those who have yet to decide.
It also serves well as a subject to develop evaluative and analytical skills and fits well with a range of other subjects across the curriculum such as History, Economics, English and Business Studies.
For almost all students the study of the subject will be completely new, and this serves to make the subject both interesting and informative. A student who likes subjects which move on, even during the course of a lesson, would be a key candidate for this subject and would find that Politics allows them to study how society decides who has power, what that degree of power means for society and how well that power is used within the context of the UK and USA Political systems.
