What can I do with a Politics 'A' Level ?

Politics develops academic skills that are highly valued in many spheres of life. It is recognised by all Universities and Colleges and can be combined with other 'A' Levels for entry to University courses. We have had a substantial number of past students go on to study the subject to degree level, including Oxbridge. It can lead to opportunities in the civil service, teaching, law, the military, accountancy, journalism and management. Employers value students who have studied Politics because of their understanding and ability to argue. Not only this, but it makes an ideal fourth 'A' level for those wishing to show breadth in their Sixth Form studies!

Perhaps most importantly, Politics allows you to make sense of the all too often confusing world around us that is, after all, run by politicians! Additionally, it is an enjoyable course for many and represents a chance to look in depth at a series of institutions and theories that shape the world in which we live.
