Applied Law is generally associated with those wanting to work in law-related roles within the business sector. It focuses upon the civil and criminal court structure, the ways in which laws are enacted and key aspects of offences and negligence. Those studying the BTEC Level 3 National Award in Applied Law, possibly alongside other qualifications, could progress within the workplace or to higher education qualifications in associated disciplines at university level.

The BTEC National Award in Applied Law was replaced by the QCF-accredited BTEC Level 3 Certificate and Subsidiary Diploma in Applied Law from September 2010. Find out more
