Law

Two years – A level

The law governs everything we do and affects everyone’s lives, including your own. We all come into contact with it every day, be it through the traffic laws that keep us safe, or the legal process of buying your first house. This course is full of interesting topics such as criminal liability for crimes such as murder, manslaughter and theft. We also cover civil liability in relation to personal injury and the court procedures involved.

Reasons to join us…

Our tutors are highly skilled professionals who have a vast knowledge of the law and experience of teaching law at all levels. Our tutors have taught A level Law, trained legal executives in law firms and have delivered programmes at degree level and above. They specialise in criminal law, tort law and the law of contract and civil litigation. Studying law will help you to develop key skills such as problem solving, critical analysis, evaluative skills and research skills, which are essential to succeed in higher education and desirable to employers.

What will I study?

Throughout the course you will learn about the court system and where our laws come from. You will cover a wide range of legal areas, including criminal law, the Law of Tort and Human Rights, and will also learn about police investigations and judges sentencing.

What’s next?

Learning the law can lead to a number of highly paid careers, for example, lawyer, tax consultant, or chartered town planner. Some of our recent students have gone on to university to complete a law degree or have entered the legal profession through legal apprenticeships. Some students have gone to work with the police and public services. Alternatively, there are plenty of progression opportunities within the College for you to move into a career in law, from level 3 paralegal apprenticeships, level 6 legal executive apprenticeships and training to become a chartered legal executive. We also offer an FdA in Law and Practice. All courses are delivered at the College following your A level programme. Alternatively, you could progress onto studying at university.
