Develop your knowledge across seven key areas of Law alongside your study of criminology
Law exists to regulate pretty much everything we do, which is why it remains such a relevant and fascinating subject to study.
Study criminal law in each year
This three-year course will develop your knowledge and understanding of legal frameworks to give you the opportunity to pursue a career as a barrister or solicitor.
The course provides debate, discussion and learning on the seven core areas of knowledge, as you develop your academic and practical skills to prepare for a career within the profession.
We also offer you the unique opportunity to study criminal law in each year of your degree.
