Law

Course summary

Law is the bedrock of the modern world. Like the air, it is invisible and yet is all around us. From the air we breathe, to the clothes we wear, the food we eat and even controlling our behavior and morality, Law impacts it all. Studying A-Level Law gives students a rare and unique glimpse into this vast hidden world and they will take away knowledge that is not only insightful but practical. There is no expectation for students to have any prior knowledge of the subject as it will be new to the majority of students. As such students have access to taught weekly enrichment sessions to help support them in their learning. Students will have the opportunity to develop a vast variety of key transferable skills such as analysis, problem solving and evaluative skills, in addition to specific legal skills including negotiation, commercial awareness and advocacy through activities like mock courts. In GCE Law, students will receive five hours of taught sessions per week. It is expected that students spend an equal amount of time independently studying and revision. This will be supported through the use of weekly homework.
