What are lessons like in this subject?
Throughout the course, a variety of different teaching methods are used to support learner’s knowledge and understanding. The lessons concentrate on varied retrieval techniques and group activities.
The subject is taught using legal case law and students use this knowledge to apply to scenario-based activities. Due to the nature of the subject, discussions and debates often occur.
Learning is continued outside the classroom with regular visits to the local courts, and we have guest regular speakers including members of the legal profession and the National Crime Agency.

What our
students
Studying BTEC Law at New College Bradford for me was an interesting and rewarding subject that explores real-life legal issues and cases. I enjoyed learning and applying different areas of law while building skills that have prepared me for both higher education and future careers. I would recommend BTEC Law to any student as the lessons are always really interesting, fun and engaging.
