What the college says

Studying Law provides students with a deep understanding of the legal system and its role in modern society. It also increases awareness of individual rights and responsibilities. Through exploring legal principles and their application to real-life situations, students develop valuable skills in analysis, decision-making, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These transferable skills are highly regarded by universities and employers alike. The course provides a good grounding in the legal system, the legal profession and concepts of liability in crime and tort and in forming a contract. This means that you will know how the legal system works and have opportunities to apply concepts of liability and case law in contract, crime and tort. The study of Law at A-Level will include offences, such as murder, manslaughter and non-fatal offences, Torts against property, contract and consumer rights and the philosophy of law. This will enable students to develop their analytical and critical thinking skills. Studying Law develops students’ problem solving skills through the application of legal rules, together with an understanding of legal method and reasoning.
