The BTEC Applied Law course is an enjoyable but challenging way of learning about how our English Legal System works. You will take a practical approach to learning about how laws are made and the structure of the court system. In the first year, you will learn the basics of criminal liability and the tort of negligence and will apply this knowledge to situations involving fictitious clients. In the second year you will build on this knowledge and study criminal law, including the law on homicide and police procedure, plus family law. You will develop key skills in legal research and communication, whilst also developing the independent learning skills needed for university study and future employment. This course will give you the equivalent of one A level over two years of study and is 40% coursework based.
