A Level Politics focuses on three different units across the two-year course, Government and Politics of the UK, Government and Politics of the US and Political Ideas (Liberalism,

Conservatism, Socialism, and one of the following ideologies: Nationalism, Feminism, Multiculturalism, Anarchism, Ecologism). Both of the units that focus on the US and the UK examine the framework of the political systems and the impacts that various factors have on political outcomes (e.g. electoral systems, party systems, pressure groups).
