Why choose this course?
This course looks at the way the law works, how law is made and the people involved in the law. You will also study several aspects of criminal law such as homicide, theft, burglary and robbery and civil law, such as negligence and private nuisance. This would normally be studied alongside other A Level subjects. Law goes well with anything; common combinations include Sociology, Psychology (for those looking at a criminology-based combination), History and Business, but it goes equally well with any subject.
