Why choose this course?
Law is both challenging and exciting. You will have the opportunity to get involved in class debates, discuss the legal issues of the day and advise your friends and family on the possible offence your favourite soap star, from Coronation Street or EastEnders, may have committed that week! The course will also develop your skills of communication, both written and verbal, and help improve your research skills and ability to analyse complex information- providing you with skills that will be extremely useful in the academic and/or working environment. Last year over thirty of our students progressed on to do a law degree.

What will I study?
In your first year you will discover the courts and their personnel responsible for solving legal disputes. Such disputes can range from the trial of an alleged murderer to the awarding of compensation to a patient disabled by the negligence of a hospital. In the second year you will study offences ranging from murder and grievous bodily harm with intent, to theft and robbery. Your task will be to advise people charged with such offences on the possibility of being found guilty.
