Progression

Universities are particularly interested in students who have an awareness of contemporary issues, including the various social, political and ethical dimensions, and Citizenship Studies provides many opportunities for students to develop their knowledge and skills in that respect.

What subjects can I study with this course?
AS/A2 Citizenship Studies draws on the subjects of Law, Sociology and Politics, making it a perfect complementary subject for students also interested in those subjects.
