Higher modern studies dilemma!

Can anyone offer me advice on whether or not I should do modern studies? has anyone taken it, if so is it enjoyable to study?

Hi I’m doing Higher Mods this year after doing the Nat 5 and possibly going on to do Advanced Higher Mods next year (still undecided!)

Mods requires essay writing skills so if you don’t like writing essays or analysing sources to make conclusions then you might not like it. It’s an enjoyable course if you’re interested in UK politics, crime and the justice system or international politics. All schools do different units so I’m not sure what your school will offer. My best advice would be to read up on the course your school provides and talk to the teacher who runs the course. If you like English or do Geography or History or similar subjects you will enjoy Modern Studies. If you don’t, you may find it a slog as a lot of people I know do! I personally find it really interesting as I’m into politics and international relations and overall I’d say Mods pupils gain a better understanding of the world after doing the course - it can be a real eye opener to places like the USA! Plus learning about things most people probably don’t know, like how voting systems work is pretty cool. Good luck with choosing your subjects
