The first part of the Law A level course introduces you to the process of law-making, dispute solving and the concept of liability. In the second part you will study criminal law in further detail including contract and tort. You will also cover the concept of law including fault and judicial creativity.
Each A Level is split into two halves the AS Level and the A2 Level. Whilst both halves cover approximately the same amount of material, the conceptually harder elements will nearly always be found in the A2. Generally, each half of the A Level will be split into three units. Each unit matches a corresponding exam.
Examinations
Examinations are normally in June, although you may be able to arrange to sit some part of the A Level in January.
Examination Entry Information
DCA will provide whatever help we can with examination information, finding an exam centre and authenticating coursework but entering examinations is entirely the responsibility of the student and the contract for sitting the examinations is between the student and the exam centre. We are not an exam centre and therefore although we can give information and guidance, we cannot make your entry for you, or change an incorrect entry. Full details about exams can be obtained on application. Students will sit external examinations and receive a certificate from the awarding body AQA.
Textbooks
In addition to the recommended text, each programme has a suggested reading list to help you achieve a broader understanding of the subject. Most subjects also require an accompanying textbook which you will need to obtain.
