Laws students need to become analytical independent learners.  The methods of learning you used for GCSE's need to change.  Over the first year of study we will introduce you to some of the skills needed to succeed academically.   more »

Your choice of AS and A Level subjects can have a significant impact on the course options available to you at University. It has even been reported (see attached) that students should ditch 'soft option' A-Levels.

Congratulations to all Laws Students on their exam successes. Throughout the whole Department of Laws (i.e. for AS/A2, Law, AS/A2 Politics, and AS Citizenship) we had only 3 students who did not obtain a subject pass grade (this is significantly better than the national average).

What is more, there were an excellent number of A and B grades (too many to list) in all subject areas - with the vast majority of students improving upon their Target Minimum Grade (many significantly). Indeed, students met the 'high grade targets' in also Laws subject areas, excepting A2 Politics.

You should be proud of your efforts. Well done, Dr Jepson, Mrs Lindley, Mr Bunce, and Mr Scott.

Any AS students who have passed but wish to improve their Law or Politics grades (by re-sitting a Unit) need to contact Dr Jepson asap. It is our policy that such students need to attend AS classes while continuing on the A2 Course.

It is the work that you do OUTSIDE of class that gets you good exam results. What makes a good student is the ability to work independently while being trustworthy and reliable ...   more »
