Course summary
Law with criminology is a popular combination for anyone who wants to focus on law and also gain valuable insights into the causes and consequences of crime.
You'll study two criminology modules each year, with the rest of your course devoted to law. As an LLB degree this course meets all of the requirements of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board.
You'll learn how the law is made and administered, and its relationship with the broader social, political and cultural context in which it operates. For the criminology part of the course, you'll receive a solid introduction to the subject, including an understanding of the criminal justice system, which includes the police, courts and prison systems.
While much of the law course is compulsory, you'll be able to choose from a range of options modules in your third year to pursue areas that are of most interest to you.
Modules
Year 1: Developing Skills for Justice (MW) (Core), English Legal System (Core), Legal Skills (Core), Contract Law (Core), Public Law (Core), Contemporary Issues in Criminology (Core)
Year 2: Essential Skills for Justice (MW) (Term 1) (Core), Introduction to Land Law (Core), Public Law II: Human Rights Proceedings (Core), Tort Law (Core), Equity and Trusts (Core), Policing and Society: Critical Perspectives (Core), Optional placement (Optional)
Year 3: Leadership Skills for Justice (MW) (Term 2) (Core), Criminal Law (Core), European Union Law (Core), Criminology/ Law Option (Optional), Law Option (Optional), Criminology Option (Optional)
