Law / Legal Studies

Course summary

This Law course provides you with a general overview of the English legal system. You will understand the structure and procedures of the courts and their personnel. You will consider contemporary issues, explore a wide range of interesting cases and Acts of Parliament, and improve your knowledge, understanding, and critical awareness of a whole range of issues affecting the legal system. This course is a vocational course that is equivalent to an A-Level and would be studied in a Mixed Study program. We also offer an A-Level Law course. Throughout this course, you will gain an understanding of rights and remedies while also developing your communication and debate skills through class discussions on live issues. As well as the academic side of the course, the Law department regularly provides students with the opportunity to go on enrichment. These have previously included visiting the Magistrates and Crown courts, an annual trip to Parliament in London, and the opportunity to travel abroad with us. Recent trips have taken us to Rome, Athens and Barcelona.
