Government & Politics This course explores political and social issues, current affairs and how decisions affecting society are made. You will gain an understanding of how democracy works in the UK and how it could be improved. You will also analyse the views of different political parties, individuals and groups. The first year focuses on British politics, switching to US politics in your second year. This will help you make more sense of UK and international developments, whilst stimulating you to think critically and consider different points of view. This subject has plenty of progression opportunities as universities appreciate the critical thinking skills you will develop on this course. At degree level, this course mixes well with subjects such as history, economics, business, sociology, international relations, American studies and politics.
