Law develops your analytical skills and critical thinking. It develops problem-solving through the application of legal rules. It provides excellent background knowledge to the further study of law either as a main subject, part of a degree or foundation degree as many professional qualifications have a law component. You will need great organisation skills and be able to manage time effectively. An interest in current affairs and the legal system would be very useful, with a great memory and an ability to work independently and as part of a team. You will also need good communication skills and the ability to articulate cases and law principles to yourself and others. Good literacy skills and an ability to structure extended writing for the exam are essential. This course has 3 core exams: 1) The legal system and criminal law Court structures, legal personnel and access to justice. Fatal and non-fatal offences against the person, property and general defences. Criminal liability and evaluation of this area of law including reform. 2) Lawmaking and the law of tort Delegated legislation, statutory interpretation, judicial precedent, reform and EU law, parliamentary law making.
