Level 3 : AS/A Level Law (AQA)
Who is the course for?
Students who have a strong interest in the subject. Law involves analysing a wide range of issues and problems. As well as studying specific areas of English law in detail, you will develop excellent analytical skills in answering legal problems. Such skills are essential, not only for a career in law, but also in many other occupations.
Our A level results are excellent and over a hundred students have moved on to study law at university in the last five years. Whatever your career plans, this course will both challenge and stimulate you. Students do not need to have studied the subject at GCSE but at least a grade C in English Language is required. Combines well with Accounting, Business, Government and Politics A Levels.
Content outline
In the first (AS) year of the course (units 1 and 2) students will be introduced to two areas of liability – criminal and tort - and study important aspects of the English legal system – e.g. the legislative process, the structure of the courts, and the legal profession.
Second (A2) year of the course (units 3 and 4) students will build on this knowledge by studying criminal and tort liability in more depth. Students will also relate the knowledge gained in other parts of the course to the study of conceptual ideas such as the relationship between law and morality and how far law achieves justice.
