Law

By learning about legal rules and how and why they apply to real life, students also develop their analytical ability, decision making, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. All these skills are highly sought after by higher education and employers.  

The curriculum is structured to allow students to develop their understanding of the English Legal System before progressing to non-substantive law. This allows for development in outlining and describing areas of law before progressing to application. Building on student appreciation of the upholding of the law within the court’s daily routine.  

Students then progress onto the non-substantive law topics; Tort Law, Criminal Law and Human Rights Law. Students ability to apply the law to a scenario is developed across the two years of study. Through learning how to answer such questions students learn how to build a legal case, to know the law, support it with case authority and apply it to the scenario. This is a skill which can be transferred to other subjects and to further education, particularly if the progressing to study law at degree, as many students aim to do.
