More about our GCE from 2008 in Government and Politics 

The specification now consists of four units of assessment instead of six: two at AS and two at A2.

The AS course provides an introduction to the subject through an examination of UK political procedures and institutions. 

The A2 course allows more specialisation, requiring more skills analysis and evaluation. It offers a choice of challenging but comparable topics: UK and EU Political Issues; Political Ideologies; US Politics and Global Politics.

Latest news: In response to feedback from teachers, we are pleased to confirm that we will offer Unit 3 and Unit 4 in the January series from January 2010. This means that candidates will have all units of the GCE 2008 Government and Politics specification available for assessment in the January series.
