Overview

A-Level Government & Politics aims to encourage students to develop a lifelong interest in government and politics. This curriculum draws together different areas of knowledge, skills and understanding to develop higher order thinking skills, for example creative thinking and problem-solving.

Students can carry out research, to think critically about the political systems in which they live and how they may participate in those systems. In the AS units, students explore the political systems in Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom. Students who continue to A2, use their AS skills and knowledge to consider other democratic and non-democratic systems and the best way to govern any society.
