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.
What you need to get on
4-5 GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above including English and maths.
How you are assessed
Entry level and Level 1 study, English and maths retakes, and supported programmes.
What this level means
The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
