Cambridge International AS and A Level Law (9084)

We revise our qualifications regularly to make sure that they continue to meet the needs of learners, schools and higher education institutions around the world and reflect current thinking. We have consulted and worked with subject experts who recommended that we updated the topics and introduced English law in a broader context. Teachers told us that some variety of question types would help students’ learning. Following the review, we have updated this syllabus and all the assessment materials for examination from 2023.
