Explore the fascinating world of law and justice through our comprehensive law programme. This course examines how legal frameworks shape our society, from parliamentary legislation to court proceedings, giving you insight into both UK and European legal systems.
The course covers two fundamental branches of law: criminal law, which addresses serious offences like assault and theft, and civil law, which focuses on resolving disputes between parties, such as personal injury claims or neighbour disagreements. You’ll develop a thorough understanding of both areas, learning how different legal principles apply in real-world scenarios.
Our programme is structured around four key components:
- Dispute solving in Civil Law (externally assessed)
- Investigating Aspects of Criminal Law and the Legal System (internally assessed)
- Applying the Law (externally assessed)
- Aspects of Tort Application of the Law of Negligence (internally assessed).
We combine classroom learning with practical assignments to give you hands-on experience of legal processes. The course features a mix of internal assessments, including written and verbal presentations, alongside external examinations that test your ability to apply legal concepts to real situations. This balanced approach ensures you develop both theoretical knowledge and practical legal skills.
This qualification is particularly valuable for those interested in careers in law, policing, civil service, or business administration. With 58% of the course assessed through external examinations, you’ll gain the robust analytical and problem-solving skills valued by employers and universities alike. Whether you’re aiming for a career in the legal sector or seeking a strong foundation in legal principles, this course provides the knowledge and practical skills needed for success.
