Why Study?
Law underpins everything in society – from justice and human rights to contracts, business, and everyday disputes. Studying Law offers you a chance to understand the system that governs behaviour, influence change, and be a voice for fairness and accountability.
What Can I Do With It?
A Law qualification opens many doors: careers in legal practice, policy, advocacy, government, compliance, and business. It also provides a strong foundation for university degrees in law, criminology, politics, or social policy.
Subject combinations
Law pairs well with Criminology, Government & Politics, Sociology, History, Psychology, Economics, English Literature, and Geography. These combinations help build strong analytical, evaluative, and communication skills that are valuable in a wide range of careers.
Extras
You’ll get exposure to guest speakers (judges, solicitors, barristers), mock trials, visits to courts, and case studies drawn from current legal issues. Expect lively classroom discussion, research projects, and opportunities for independent learning.
What will I study?
You’ll explore key areas of English law including dispute resolution, criminal law, tort, and contract law. You’ll also learn how the legal system operates, how laws are made and interpreted, and how legal professionals apply the law to real situations. The course combines coursework and scenario-based assessment, helping you develop practical skills in research, evaluation, and legal communication.
