In Year 12 you will study the following units: • Dispute Solving in the Legal System; • Understanding Law-making; • Aspects of Legal Liability. In Year 13: Students focus on the more serious criminal offences in our legal system, such as, murder, manslaughter, criminal damage and burglary.

Each unit is assessed through four assignments. These consist of presentations, scenarios and essays. Individual and personalised learning are key components so students must be ready to use their own initiative to research and develop their knowledge. What are the entry requirements? Must meet the standard BTEC entry requirements for the 6th form. There is a substantial amount of reading and writing required and students must be prepared for this when they enter the course. Future opportunities The course provides opportunities for learners to gain a nationally recognised vocational qualification to enter employment in the legal sector or to progress to higher education to study courses such as the Level 5 BTEC Higher National in Business (Law), a Foundation Degree in Business and Law or a LLB Honours Degree in Law.
