 Introduction

1.2 Why choose Cambridge International AS & A Level?

Cambridge International AS & A Levels are international in outlook, but retain a local relevance. The
syllabuses provide opportunities for contextualised learning and the content has been created to suit a wide
variety of schools, avoid cultural bias and develop essential lifelong skills, including creative thinking and
problem-solving.

Our aim is to balance knowledge, understanding and skills in our programmes and qualifications to enable
students to become effective learners and to provide a solid foundation for their continuing educational
journey. Cambridge International AS & A Levels give learners building blocks for an individualised curriculum
that develops their knowledge, understanding and skills.

Schools can offer almost any combination of 60 subjects and learners can specialise or study a range of
subjects, ensuring a breadth of knowledge. Giving learners the power to choose helps motivate them
throughout their studies.

Cambridge International A Levels typically take two years to complete and offer a flexible course of study
that gives learners the freedom to select subjects that are right for them.

Cambridge International AS Levels often represent the first half of an A Level course but may also be taken
as a freestanding qualification. The content and difficulty of a Cambridge International AS Level examination
is equivalent to the first half of a corresponding Cambridge International A Level.

Through our professional development courses and our support materials for Cambridge International
ASand A Levels, we provide the tools to enable teachers to prepare learners to the best of their ability and
work with us in the pursuit of excellence in education.

Cambridge International AS & A Levels have a proven reputation for preparing learners well for university,
employment and life. They help develop the in-depth subject knowledge and understanding which are so
important to universities and employers.

Learners studying Cambridge International AS & A Levels have opportunities to:

acquire an in-depth subject knowledge
develop independent thinking skills
apply knowledge and understanding to new as well as familiar situations
handle and evaluate different types of information sources
think logically and present ordered and coherent arguments
make judgements, recommendations and decisions
present reasoned explanations, understand implications and communicate them clearly and logically
work and communicate in English.

Guided learning hours

Cambridge International A Level syllabuses are designed on the assumption that learners have about
360 guided learning hours per subject over the duration of the course. Cambridge International AS Level
syllabuses are designed on the assumption that learners have about 180 guided learning hours per subject
over the duration of the course. This is for guidance only and the number of hours required to gain the
qualification may vary according to local curricular practice and the learners prior experience of the subject.

Introduction

1.3 Why choose Cambridge International AS & A Level Law?

Cambridge International AS & A Level Law is accepted by universities and employers as proof of an
understanding of the main principles of the law in England and Wales. Successful Cambridge International
AS & A Level Law students gain lifelong skills, including:
Knowledge and understanding of the English Legal System and, at A Level, Contract Law and Tort Law;
Ability to analyse realistic scenarios by applying legal concepts, rules and precedents;
Greater command of language to express interpretation, reasoning, comment and judgement.

Prior learning
Candidates beginning this course are not expected to have studied Law previously.

Progression
Cambridge International A Level Law provides a suitable foundation for the study of Law or related courses
in higher education. Equally it is suitable for candidates intending to pursue careers or further study in Law,
or as part of a course of general education.

Cambridge International AS Level Law constitutes the first half of the Cambridge International A Level
course in Law and therefore provides a suitable foundation for the study of Law at A Level and thence for
related courses in higher education. Depending on local university entrance requirements, itmay permit
or assist progression directly to university courses in Law or some other subjects. It is also suitable for
candidates intending to pursue careers or further study in Law, or as part of a course of general education.

Equality and inclusion

Cambridge International Examinations has taken great care in the preparation of this syllabus and
assessment materials to avoid bias of any kind. To comply with the UK Equality Act (2010), Cambridge has
designed this qualification with the aim of avoiding direct and indirect discrimination.

The standard assessment arrangements may present unnecessary barriers for candidates with disabilities
or learning difficulties. Arrangements can be put in place for these candidates to enable them to access the
assessments and receive recognition of their attainment. Access arrangements will not be agreed if they
give candidates an unfair advantage over others or if they compromise the standards being assessed.

Candidates who are unable to access the assessment of any component may be eligible to receive an
award based on the parts of the assessment they have taken.

Information on access arrangements is found in the Cambridge Handbook which can be downloaded from
the website www.cie.org.uk/examsofficers

Language
This syllabus and the associated assessment materials are available in English only.

Grading and reporting

performance fell short of the standard required for grade E. Ungraded will be reported on the statement of
results but not on the certificate. The letters Q (result pending), X (no results) and Y (to be issued) may also
appear on the statement of results but not on the certificate.
