What the college says
If you choose to study law, you are choosing a lively, vibrant subject that is always current and relevant. A strong legal system is the basis of every society. The law affects all aspects of human endeavour and we can see the effects of law in disciplines such as arts and media, business, sciences, sports and entertainment. In almost everything we do, we are governed by and protected by law. As individuals, we rely on the law to protect our rights as consumers, to regulate businesses and to make sure that our health and safety is safeguarded. As employees, the law makes sure that we are fairly treated and free from exploitation through rules on working time, paid holiday, equal pay and much more. The business world could not exist without the safety net of contract law below it, ensuring that promises are kept and that those who suffer loss are compensated fairly. Many professionals (such as accountants) are required to study some law to understand their responsibilities. By studying this A-level in Law, you will develop an understanding of the legal system that will serve you well in any profession.
