Law with Criminology

Our law with criminology degree is aimed at those who want to study the main range of legal knowledge, and complement this with knowledge of the causes, consequences and prevention of crime.

You will study essential areas of law, including Criminal Law and Public Law. In your final year you will be able to choose a specialist law module, such as Immigration Law, Company Law or Family Law.

You will also study Criminology modules such as Foundations of Criminology and Policing and Society.

The curriculum will be complemented by a range of employability opportunities that you can apply for. These include mentor programmes with relevant organisations, assisting lawyers in our Legal Advice Centre, the Innocence Project London, our Community Street Law Project, and moots and mock trials.
