General Studies is an AS and A Level that is studied for about an hour a week. You will get the chance to explore and discuss a variety of issues from the world of science, arts, culture and society – the kind of issues you will see on TV and read about in the papers. Examples include GM foods, cloning, the impact of ICT, reality TV, political parties, modern art, community confl ict and the role of the tabloid press. Some of these you may already have views on, some you may cover in your other AS courses. This course will give you some more ideas.
General Studies lessons will include plenty of heated debate and argument, as well as preparing you for the General Studies exams. Many universities accept General Studies as part of their entrance requirements, and many of our students have been greatly helped in obtaining university places by passing General Studies. You will complete an AS in General Studies at the end of your Lower Sixth Year, and the A Level in January of the Upper Sixth Year.

General Studies is a more chilled-out subject and you still get an AS at the end.
