Pursuing politics can pave the way to myriad careers. Beyond the obvious roles of being a politician or local government officer, politics offers a springboard to diverse career trajectories. These include opportunities in the public sector, such as roles in the federal and local governments, non-profit organisations, and even positions that merge politics and history or politics and English.
Studying politics could also lead you to work in media campaign management, journalism for esteemed newspapers and magazines, or even teach politics at a university level. Careers in public relations, human resources, finance, and aid work frequently value a background in politics. Politics as an academic discipline extends far beyond the basic understanding of government structures; it delves into the intricacies of political theories, the history of political movements, and the practical implications of policy decisions. Tutors from Spires, many of whom have extensive experience in teaching politics at various levels, including GCSE, A-Level, and university, offer a unique perspective that can greatly enhance a student’s learning experience.
