AS Unit 1:  Government and Politics of Northern Ireland
AS Unit 2:  British Political Process

A2 Modules

Few subjects are as relevant to our everyday lives as Government and Politics. Government is the act of exercising authority or ruling. Politics is the process by which a community makes and changes the general rules under which its people live. It regulates competition for positions of leadership and helps to resolve conflicts. Government and Politics is a challenging and rewarding subject that suits any student who is interested in people, power and fairness in society.

Studying Government and Politics gives students a real insight into the world in which they live. Students learn how the political decisions that affect our lives are made and who has the power and authority to make those decisions. They also develop valuable analytical and evaluation skills as they debate topical and controversial issues, form their own political opinions and study different ideological viewpoints.  Assessment is through examination only, with two exams at AS Level and two at A2.  For detailed information on the subject, course specification, past exam papers and study support materials, please visit the Micro Site for Politics at CCEA:  http://www.rewardinglearning.org.uk/microsites/government/index.asp
