Politics and History

Politics at Chester looks behind the media headlines and assumptions that surround power politics. We explore the underlying political issues and ask age-old questions such as €˜How do we achieve the good society?; €˜Do the strong do as they please, while the weak suffer?; and €˜Is the point of politics to change the world?. The teaching team brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. We may also invite guest lecturers to provide specialist sessions and where appropriate, facilitate visits to political institutions and events with regional MPs and local authorities. Our program has taken students out of the traditional classroom and into a wide variety of field trips, even visiting the EU parliament in Brussels in the past. We have also arranged activities such as voter registration drives.
