The A-Level Law qualification under the WJEC Eduqas exam board provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the legal system and its applications. This course is designed to build a strong foundation in key areas of law, including criminal law, contract law, tort law, human rights, and the judiciary. Students will explore the principles that govern legal processes, how laws are created, and the role of courts in interpreting and enforcing them.
The course is split into two main components: the first focuses on understanding legal concepts and the second on applying those concepts to real-life scenarios. Students will develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to construct well-argued legal essays and evaluations.
Assessments are based on written exams, typically consisting of structured questions and scenario-based problem-solving tasks. These exams test students' ability to understand complex legal issues, apply legal principles, and communicate their knowledge effectively.
The WJEC Eduqas A-Level Law is ideal for those considering a career in law, politics, or public service, and it equips students with valuable skills for further education or professional work in the legal field.
