A-Level Law provides students with a general understanding of the English legal system and a grounding in the principles of its criminal law, tort law and human rights law. The study of law equips students to think critically. The main assessed skills are the ability to explain, evaluate and question key legal ideas in essays, and the ability to apply legal rules from statute and case law to fictional scenarios. Law needs to be learnt carefully and thoroughly, but its practice is dynamic and varied. Students will develop oracy through discussion and debate as well as analytical writing skills. This process will equip them with valuable skills and confidence for adult life and give them an idea of some of the key qualities required in professional legal practice. In Year 1, students will learn the basic principles of the English legal system and some of the key topics of criminal and tort law. In Year 2, this knowledge will be consolidated and developed and students will also learn about human rights law.
Students are expected to have at least grade 6 in GCSE English, and a good pass (grade 5 and above) in Maths and a science.
Students will be assessed by examination at the end of the course. There are no coursework requirements.
