A-level Government and Politics is a good choice for students considering a career in the professions, or those who simply want to understand how the world works. Many students who have taken the A-level in Government and Politics go on to study Politics at university. From there you might become a researcher, join local or national government or even start on the path to become a future Prime Minister! But there are other job options too. If you fancy a career in Journalism or the Media, this course is very useful. Students also go on to become teachers or work in the legal profession. |
