A Level Law, AQA specification, covers the following areas: the English Legal System, the theory of Law, Criminal Law, Tort Law, and Contract Law. You will achieve this by considering the subject through the eyes of a lawyer, judge, police officer, and prosecutor. It is an examination-based subject with three 'end of syllabus' exams, which are 2 hours long. Questions vary in the depth of answer required but build up to long essay questions. All answers require considerable knowledge of facts, statutes, and cases, together with analysis and evaluation.
5 GCSEs grade 9-4 including English and Maths. English Language must be at least grade 5. You will need determination and a desire to work hard, particularly on your writing skills. You will also be required to complete a GCSE to A Level Transition Project, prior to enrolment, to prepare you for A Level Law.
This is a two-year linear A Level where you are examined on the whole syllabus at the end of the second year. Each project is assessed as a portfolio of work. Fact learning is essential and as essay writing forms an essential part of this course, you should have a high level of language skills. Critical analysis, evaluation, and textual analysis will be developed throughout the year. Assessments will be ongoing in class on a regular basis, some of which will be in exam conditions. To prepare for external exams, you will carry out a program of weekly tests, exam-style assessments, and Formal Progress Points where you will monitor your attendance, how hard you are working, and your academic progress. All Year 1 students will progress through a Year 1 Gateway that will allow them to progress to Year 2.
