Law A-Level Pathway

EPQ

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)is a largely self-directed research project into a topic of the student’s choice. You will develop your study skills as you plan, research and develop your idea, creating either a research assignment, a product or an activity (e.g.,an event)as your final piece. The EPQ may also count towards UCAS points.

Core Maths is an exciting course which will help you to use maths in a range of ‘real world’ contexts to prepare for success in your studies, future care and life.

This one-year course will develop your mathematical skills and thinking appropriate for a Level 3 qualification. You will become more confident and competent in using maths and the qualification will be considered for UCAS points if you are planning to study at university in the future.

These are the careers most associated with the subject expertise, however there are many more roles where the study of this subject will be of use.

There are 4 main routes from A level. If you are considering Higher Education, you can opt to take a Law Degree,ora non-LawDegree followed by the Law conversion course.
