What will I study
Law is everywhere. You can see it when you go to your local supermarket, when you use your phone and even when you go to College. Every item you buy, every agreement you make, every relationship you enter into is regulated by a country’s laws. Our society is governed by laws that supposedly benefit our lives; by studying Law you will learn all about laws, analyse case studies and you will learn to question everything. Studying A Level Law will let you explore the relationship between laws, society and the individual in the UK.
