Course summary

Law is one of the most useful and interesting academic subjects that you can study. Law students not only learn about different areas of law such as criminal law, liability and human rights law, but also how the legal system operates: how law is made, how the courts work and how judges interpret law. A-level law students also become well versed in analytical and evaluative skills, which are essential for university. The skills from studying for a Law degree are highly sought after by employers, especially the skills of analysis, research and communication skills. Studying law opens up a whole area of career opportunities within the police, research, banking, journalism, teaching, as well as the more traditional legal professions of solicitor or barrister. If you have ever wondered: How laws are made? How the justice system works? What rights do you have and how your rights are affected by Parliament? This is the course for you. Please be prepared to read newspapers, watch the news and access numerous legal-orientated websites to help you keep up-to-date with how the Law regularly changes.
