Law / Legal Studies

Course summary

Criminology, Law & Psychology, is a programme where you will undertake three different but overlapping subjects. You will study the theories of crime, the practice of a solicitor and the different psychological perspectives. You can also take BTEC Criminology alongside 2 A-Levels of your choice, dependent on your GCSE results grades and subject availability. Please contact the curriculum director Joanne about your options with this combination. WHAT WILL I STUDY? - Criminology is the study of the reasons why individuals commit crimes. By understanding why a person commits a crime, we can develop ways to control crime or rehabilitate the criminal. - Psychology is a fascinating and varied subject. This course offers an exciting opportunity to explore many different areas of psychology, providing a broad basis for later specialisation. The applied nature of the course provides a platform to put theory into practical use. - Within your Law classes you will explore the complexity of the English Legal System, criminal law, contract law and the law on negligence with all its fascinations and flaws. You will develop the skills needed to work within the legal profession.
