What the college says

Law is an academic subject, and the syllabus concentrates on the way in which the English Legal System works. Contemporary and thought-provoking, Law is highly regarded by employers and universities which relates to real-life situations and complements many other subjects well. Should suspected terrorists have rights? Should euthanasia by legalised? Can you really get away with murder? Can we trust our judiciary? Does life really mean life? Are sentences too soft? If these are the kind of questions that interest you, then studying law can give you the answers. The study of law is demanding but highly rewarding. It provides student with a platform to link theoretical rules with contemporary dilemmas, including police powers to arrest and detain, rights of individuals to protest, and celebrities protecting themselves from media invasion.
