Law A level by distance learning – the course

The Law A level includes two major components – AS level and A2 level. The AS level is a qualification in its own right and may be studied for on a one-year distance learning course.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

The course includes ten Tutor-marked Assignments (known as TMAs), six in the AS course and four in the A2.
