Standard Grade Modern Studies tutors, Intermediate Modern Studies tutors and Higher Modern Studies tutors makes a distinctive contribution to the student's development. Study of the Modern Studies develops an understanding of fundamental processes which underpin political and social life. These processes are considered in local, national and international contexts which are both relevant and significant. The structured understanding gained in this way can be applied in other situations. Higher Modern Studies will be of interest to a wide range of adult candidates, as well as to school candidates. Modern Studies at Higher makes a contribution to a well-balanced individual curriculum with appropriate emphasis given to the skills of communicating, learning, creative thinking and critical evaluation of the media and the utilisation of information technology.

The Standard Grade, Intermediate and Higher Course in Modern Studies develops understanding of the political and social processes operating in the contemporary world. Modern Studies exam candidates should extend their knowledge and understanding of contemporary issues and develop skills of evaluating that they may have been introduced to at Standard Grade or in Intermediate Modern Studies. The structure of the Course requires candidates to study issues from within the United Kingdom and the wider world.
Important skills are developed and enhanced through study of Higher Modern Studies. These skills include:
♦ handling and analysing complex data
♦ adopting a structured approach to the study of contemporary issues and problems
♦ constructing and sustaining lines of argument which mirror the complexity of the issues they address
♦ evaluating evidence, detecting a lack of objectivity and drawing and presenting conclusions in a balanced and structured way
♦ participating in debate and discussion, through which attitudes of open-mindedness and tolerance are fostered

Modern Studies study also contributes to personal and social development. In particular, it addresses the area of rights and responsibilities. This includes the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a democratic society and the moral and ethical responsibilities of individuals.

All students will be encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. They should make use of generic learning skills and the skills developed in Higher Modern Studies will make a contribution to learning in many other subjects.
