A Level Law is a dynamic and living subject. It changes in response to events, developments in technology and serves to reflect contemporary values within society. Students will learn about society from a legal perspective and the interaction between law and morals, justice and society, including Rule of Law. The specification has a broad focus. Students learn about law making, the English legal system, criminal law, tort law, human rights and jurisprudence of law. The study of A-Level law helps students develop a range of transferable skills: analytical skills, attention to detail, logical thinking, research skills, independent learning, ability to debate controversial issues and take on board alternative points of view and to create a balanced argument. A-Level Law is an extremely demanding subject. As such the course is best suited to students who take a very proactive approach to learning and are sufficiently resilient to manage the demands of the course. It is essential that students who study law have the ability to analyse the law from different perspectives rather than accepting it a face value.
Both Grade 5 or above in GCSE English language and Grade 5 or above in GCSE English literature.
