Access to Higher Education Diploma (Law and Criminology)

Providing the academic equivalent of three A Levels and offering a direct pathway to university, the Access to Higher Education Diploma in Law and Criminology stands as a recognised route for anybody looking to transition careers or pursue higher education in these fields.

During your first year, you will undertake study skills units aimed at honing essential academic skills in writing, independent research, and study techniques. These will not only aid you in completing your assignments, but also serve as valuable preparation for university-level studies.

In addition to this, you will study criminology-based units as an introduction to the graded content. Through these units, you will gain a nuanced understanding of the historical evolution of crime and its impact on victims.

Moving into your second year, you will be introduced to law-focused content, including the English legal system, law enforcement processes, and criminal law.
