Course Overview The Legal System and Criminal Law This module gives an insight into how the UK’s legal system works including the differences between the civil and criminal courts before considering the legal requirements for criminal offences including murder, manslaughter and theft. Law Making and the Law of Tort Throughout this course, students gain an understanding of how laws are made and influenced in the UK. In tort law, students will appreciate their rights as an individual by studying topics such as employment and family law. The Nature of Law and Human Rights Law More philosophical in nature, this unit considers the big questions such as the difference between morality and law. Students will also study human rights and identify any violations against an individual’s liberty. All topics are taught in an interactive way involving plenty of discussion and debates as well as applying legal principles to given scenarios. Why should I study A Level Law? This A Level in law will foster student interest and enjoyment in law. The qualification is designed to develop knowledge and skills for the further study of law, and related subjects, such as business. Learners will develop their knowledge of the law in England, and an awareness of law in a European and global context. The course will enable learners to know and understand the changing nature of law and the interaction between law, morals, justice, society and technology What can I do afterwards? This qualification (at Grade C or above) is recognised by the Institute of Legal Executives and will provide exemptions to its nationally-recognised professional qualification. Law at A Level is viewed by universities (including Oxford, Cambridge and Russell Group) as a fully academic subject producing high quality candidates. The study of A Level Law allows students to make an informed choice about whether a career in law is the right option for them, particularly through visits, guest speakers, work experience and the Crown Court Mock Trial competition. Law graduates can go on to train as solicitors or barristers or alternatively find employment in many other areas – Legal, Local Government, Public Sector, Administration, Business, Human Resources, Banking, Insurance.
This course requires a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English Language and preferably GCSE Mathematics or any Humanities GCSE.
