Law A Level

If you are fascinated by the legal system and its impact on society, and you have a passion for justice, then A level law is a perfect choice for you. You will gain a deeper understanding of the role of law in today’s society by learning about the English legal system, both criminal and civil, as well as the general principles of law-making and application, as you delve into philosophical principles such as morality, fairness and justice.

A Level Law is a fascinating subject which covers many aspects of everyday and profession life; equipping you with a range of highly sought after skills and knowledge which support further study and employment such as problem-solving, decision making and critical thinking.

The delivery of the course is supported by visits from legal professionals and universities in addition to visits to court and other places of interest. A Level Law is an excellent introduction to studying law at university, a legal apprenticeship or training as a Chartered Legal Executive. Many of our former students have secured places at some of the country’s top universities and many have progressed to careers as a solicitor or barrister.

In addition to the legal professions, former A Level Law students enjoy careers in criminology, policing, business, politics and teaching.
