This subject provides a useful insight what law is and how it works and helps you learn more about society from a legal perspective. Law provides the perfect introduction to the subject for any student who wishes to study it at degree level or work in the legal sector. Alternatively, it is a good A Level choice for any student simply interested in finding out more about the society we live in. You will learn how laws are made, what decisions the courts make and the difference between the various types of legal personnel eg. barristers, solicitors and legal executives. Most of your study will be focused on three substantive areas of law, namely, criminal law, tort law and contract law. Students will study these topics through the analysis of real-life case studies and the analysis of statute law. Law complements many other A Level subjects, particularly those of English, politics, history, psychology, sociology and business. Law allows students to develop academic skills including analysis and evaluation, and to make an informed decision about future careers. Students interested in becoming solicitors, barristers or legal executives would be aptly suited to the study of law; but so too would those interested in careers in academia, criminology, business, politics, government, business and/or economics.
You need five GCSEs in the 9 to 5 range including English.
You will be assessed through written examinations, with regular internal assessment taking place as the course unfolds. Your final A Level exam will be made up of three exam papers covering the entire programme at the end of year two.
