Law

A qualification in Law demonstrates your ability to think clearly and logically. Not only will you be looking at a wide range of high profile real life cases, you’ll also find out about the offences themselves, how they came to court, how the Judge sentences a convicted criminal and how solicitors, barristers, magistrates and juries interact.

You’ll gain an understanding of how laws are made and how they are passed in parliament, police powers, criminal and civil courts and the European Court of Justice.

Criminal Law: You will study the rules and principles concerning general elements of criminal liability for offences against the person including assault and murder, property offences and attempt. In addition you will examine the defences of self-defence and intoxication.

Tort Law: You will learn the rules and principles concerning liability and fault in actions for negligence, occupiers’ liability, nuisance and vicarious liability with reference to associated defences and remedies.

You will be assessed by examinations at the end of the two-year course.

You will also be expected to carry out independent study and other personal development activities alongside your programme, such as additional workshops, an Extended Project Qualification, leisure extracurricular activities, volunteering or work experience, or part-time employment.

At NCC we’re committed to ensuring that your studies are career focused and are linked to your future goals. Develop a new skill, learn how to be a leader, volunteer for a good cause and keep fit through sport. Enhance your learning and make the most of the array of activities on offer to help you stand out from the crowd when applying for university, an Apprenticeship or a job.

You will study in modern classrooms with interactive learning technology, and will have access to up-to-date resources.
