Four GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including Mathematics and English.

The three courses have the following units which will be completed in one academic year.

  • Aspects of Crime/Assignment support
  • Criminal Justice System, Crime and Social Groups
  • Definition and Illustration of Psychological Concepts

You will be required to complete study outside of class time to complete your assignments. This is to develop your independent learning skills and prepare you for Level 3 study.

This course will include quizzes, assessment booklets, written assignments, video presentations and observations. Case studies will be used as examples to support learning. You will be taught by specialist teachers for each of the three aspects (Psychology, Criminology and Law).

This course is mostly assessed through internally set and marked assignments.

Upon successful completion of the Psychology, Criminology and Law courses and achievement of grade 4 or above in English and Mathematics you would move on to Level 3 Applied Psychology, Criminology, Law.
