Understanding power, people and ideas
Our AS and A level Politics qualifications help students to develop knowledge and understanding of the role politics plays in relation to current local, national, and global issues, as well as studying key thinkers and political ideas. Each topic in our specification is fully detailed, providing you with the full range of breadth and depth to teach.
Our specification features content your students enjoy, such as political parties, elections and how UK government works. New content is introduced within a clear and coherent structure so you know exactly what the new teaching and learning requirements are.
Our specification also includes contemporary content such as constitutional history, voter behaviour as well as the role of the media, and we’ve given teachers the freedom to choose their own examples. A level students have the widest choice of stimulating topics with the option to study either Government and Politics of the USA or Global Politics.
Our papers build confidence through ramped questions, increasing in demand throughout the paper. A choice of questions and engaging source material help motivate all students to succeed.
We provide a wealth of free and published support to help you plan, teach, track and assess throughout the course, including topic-specific guides and case studies on the most recent political events, such as elections in the UK and the USA.
Our Politics subject experts are available to answer your queries and provide guidance with the support materials available.
