The study of Law is hugely important for many reasons. Whilst students will be able to use their analytical and critical thinking skills, they will also be challenged to think about the many different spheres of law that exists, as well as whether law exists to serve public morality, whether laws should be made or simply interpreted by judges, and how justice is achieved in the English Legal System.

We study many fascinating topics throughout this course, and many of our students choose to study Law at universities, including some of the best universities in the country. Modules focus on criminal, tort and human rights law, whilst also examining the philosophical and historical underpinnings of UK Law.

We study the following topics:

• Paper 1: The English Legal System and Criminal Law (33%)

• Paper 2: Law Making and the Law of Tort (33%)

• Paper 3: Further Law - Human Rights Law (33%)
