Advantages: Easy if you did A-Level Disadvantages: Hard if you didn't
...to do a degree in Politics because I was really keen to learn and I really wanted to know more about the subject - then I went to the lectures!
Having had no formal teaching in Politics before, I found it quite hard because everyone else had done either A-Level Politics or Higher Modern Studies. Being expected to learn post-war British politics in 10hrs of lectures was therefore a bit too hard for me!
