This is probably one of the most exciting, important and significant times to be studying politics in the last 50 years. From the snap 2017 election, Brexit and the Scottish independence movement to Donald Trump and the rise of nationalism, you will have a much better understanding of the origins, meaning and impact of all of these and more after studying politics. Whatever you go on to do after your A-levels, the analytical and evaluative skills and knowledge you will develop through this course will be useful.
It may be that you have very little knowledge of British, US and global politics or of political ideas. If this is the case it is sensible to focus on improving your basic knowledge of politics. You need to do this in your own time. Do not expect your teacher to do this for you—it is not in either your own or your classmates’ interest to do this.
