Think you could argue your case?

We can help you take your next step towards a career in legal services.

Our T Level Legal Services, Crime, Criminal Justice and Social Welfare (Law) course gives you the opportunity to explore the world of law while developing the knowledge and practical skills needed for a future in the legal profession.

And the learning opportunities don't stop at the classroom - students can get involved in experiences that bring the legal system to life, including opportunities connected to the Young Citizens Bar Mock Trial Competition, where students take on roles such as barristers, witnesses and court clerks, and argue a real case before a judge.

There’s also the opportunity to visit London and see the legal world in action, giving you a chance to experience what a career in law could really look like.

If you’re ready to help tip the scales of justice, you can find out more about the course and apply here - it's not too late to start this month: https://cityplym.info/legal2026

We’re delighted to be welcoming so many new students to the College this week - it’s fantastic to see our campus so full of life, energy and excitement after the summer break.

Today we had a special guest greeting students - Oscar the robot. In between posing for photos, Oscar chatted to students about their breakfast options, helped them with directions, and held a few entertaining conversations about the benefits and drawbacks of AI!

It’s an incredible time of year here as the College becomes a hive of activity once again. We want to wish all of our new and returning students a happy new (academic) year - we can’t wait to see what you all achieve!
