Law A Level
at Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College, Hove · sixth form college
What the college says
Law is a subject which is brand new to most students at A Level. Our students tell us that they really enjoy this course and the different teaching and learning methods used. They emphasise that there is a lot to learn and having a good memory certainly helps. Being well-organised and keeping up with independent studies each week aids their success and enjoyment in Law. This course could be right for you if you are an independent learner who enjoys researching legal issues, reading chunks of texts and analysing them. You will need to have grade 6 in an English GCSE and work to a schedule that involves regular assessment. Teachers will encourage you to probe the law and evaluate it and think of ways in which it can be reformed. A Level Law links to some topic areas in Sociology and Philosophy as well as Politics where both subjects look at the role of the Supreme Court, the independence of the judiciary and law-making.
