From crime and courtroom drama, to consumer and human rights, law touches every part of our lives. Studying law can lead to work in a legal firm or business, victim support, law enforcement, or rehabilitation of offenders, along with other paths. Fascinated by the criminal mind? Our VTQ pathway lets you combine a BTEC Law and a BTEC Psychology qualification with a Diploma in Criminology. This course pathway provides a sound grounding in the principles of law, the ability to access the language of law and an understanding of the rights and responsibilities as citizens. Crucially, students need to be able to apply the law to scenarios to build a sound foundation as to how the law is used in practice. Doing this enables students to enhance their higher order analytical and evaluation skills. There is an underlying theme within the curriculum, which is a reinforcement of the principles of participating in a democratic society. As well as sector knowledge of the legal environment and digital skills, the study programme allows students to develop transferrable employability skills such as organising, time management – meeting deadlines, verbal and written communication, numeracy, research, presentation, effective team working, handwriting, completing application particulars, preparing for interview, interview technique, enterprising in preparing for their next career steps, prioritising, and higher order thinking skills such as analysis, evaluation, reflection as well as problem solving. They will also develop personal qualities in producing the course work, attending the industrial placement and preparing for examinations i.e. punctuality to group meetings, meticulous in paying attending to detail, reliability in meeting deadlines for the tutor, group tasks or examinations, confidence, resilience/endurance, demonstrating being able to work confidentiality, professionalism through advice and tutor feedback throughout the life of the course, self-discipline in preparing for examinations. Those undertaking this course pathway need be willing to work in a thorough and careful manner so that outcomes achieved enable them to access future education or employment opportunities.
