| Progression | Many students progress to university to study Law with the intention to go on to become barristers or solicitors. However, A Level Law can open the door to many opportunities, not just in the field of law - it provides an excellent foundation for university and career choices, from journalism; business and teaching, to politics; banking; research and public relations. |
