What the college says

If you're thinking about studying law at university or getting into the legal profession through an apprenticeship, this course, though not an essential requirement, can be a useful preparation. You don't need to have studied law at GCSE to do the A level but you should have strong analytical skills, enjoy reading and essay writing. Law will give you transferable skills such as analysing, thinking critically, problem solving and communicating effectively that are useful for a range of careers. If you are aiming to study a law degree, taking this subject alongside strong facilitating subjects may broaden the range of institutions to which you can apply.
