What WJEC A-Level Government and Politics covers

WJEC A-Level Government and Politics (603/1979/3) is the Wales-regulated specification and is not available to centres in England, which has no Eduqas equivalent. It is four written papers and no coursework: Government in Wales and the United Kingdom, then Living and participating in a democracy at AS, followed by Political concepts and theories and Government and politics of the USA at A2. Nothing is optional — every student studies the whole specification. Wales is the spine of it rather than an addition: the Senedd, the Welsh Government, the Government of Wales Acts of 1998 and 2006, the Additional Member System, the Welsh party system and the mark each ideology has left on Welsh politics are all named content.
