This course gives students the opportunity to earn a law degree with specialist knowledge in the field of criminal law and criminal justice. Along with the requirements of the traditional LLB degree you’ll learn substantive criminal law and how the criminal justice system works in practice and procedure. Importantly, you’ll be encouraged to use this knowledge to think critically about crime: its origins, its impact on society and the most effective strategies to combat it. We offer two study options. You can choose three years full-time, or four years full-time with a one-year professional placement that will give you hands-on experience in a legal practice. All of our students have careers advisers with whom you can discuss career ideas with and who can offer guidance on placements and further study options throughout the duration of your time with us. You’ll be able to discuss career ideas with your careers advisor and get guidance on placements and further study options. Employers know that law graduates have a variety of useful, transferable skills that make them excellent employment prospects in both legal and non-legal careers so you will finish your degree as a professional, sought-after graduate. To qualify as a solicitor you will need a degree and to pass the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), Parts 1 and 2.
