The Law informs and influences every aspect of our society and with our A Level course you’ll find out how it shapes our lives. We can offer you fantastic resources to aid your law studies and our specialist A Level Law teaching staff will support you through the course to achieve your potential. You will develop knowledge and understanding of the English legal system and meet guest speakers from universities and law firms. Our course helps prepare students for a range of higher education courses and careers. The Law may be simplistically defined as rules that society is required to follow and which may be enforced in the courts. The Law is not fixed, however, and it evolves with changes in society. Year 1 You will learn how laws are made, the court system and the roles and responsibilities of those who work in the courts and the differences between civil and criminal law. Building on this, you will learn actual legal principles that can be applied to real-life situations in both criminal and civil law. In criminal law, you will learn about the assault, GBH and wounding whereas in civil law you will learn about negligence, claims for psychiatric harm and how contracts are formed. Year 2 You will study both criminal and civil law in more depth including the law on murder, manslaughter, theft, occupiers’ liability, and breach of contract. You will also learn to make connections between law and related concepts e.g. justice and morality.
A minimum of five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English Language.
