The law is fascinating; it regulates us in every aspect of our lives. Through studying law, you can learn to understand how and why the law affects you.

You will learn about law through a mixture of discussion, mock trials, debate and through visits to legal institutions. Regular speakers include a local barrister, solicitor and magistrates. The course aims to develop your ability to analyse and apply legal principles, construct legal arguments and draw appropriate conclusions. Throughout, critical evaluation of current legal issues will be high on the agenda.
