Law is about the legal system in England and Wales. Firstly, you will develop the fundamental knowledge and understanding of the nature of law and the English legal system. Students will then study criminal law along with its application to both fictional and real life cases. The second year focuses on civil law, namely tort law and contract law, where application and evaluation skills will be developed further. Studying Law at A-Level will allow you to develop problem-solving skills through the application of legal rules. It also develops analytical ability and critical thinking skills. If you decide to study A-Level Law, you will join a team which believes that your academic achievement should be our complete focus. Career progression is also a key priority, so there will be opportunities to engage with members of the legal profession. You will be encouraged to undertake work experience in a legal setting.
- To study Law you will require a grade 5 or higher in GCSE English Language or Literature and a grade 5 or higher in a GCSE in which you need to write essays (e.g. History, Geography or RE). - At least 5 GCSE passes. Two of these will need to be at grade 5 or higher, with a further three at grade 4 or higher.
