What is A-Level Law?

The A-Level Law programme offers a thorough understanding of the legal systems that shape our society, focusing on the people and processes involved in creating and enforcing laws.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore various branches of law, including Criminal and Civil Law, learning about their differences and the consequences for those who break these laws.

This programme provides a solid foundation for understanding the legal framework that governs behaviour and societal order, making it ideal for those interested in pursuing a career in law or related fields.

In the Law A-Level course, you will explore the foundations of legal principles and their applications in real-world scenarios.

The programme covers key areas such as criminal law, including offences like assault, theft, and manslaughter, as well as the legal processes behind law-making and the justice system. You’ll also dive into civil law topics, such as negligence, contract law, and liability.
