OVERVIEW

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.

HOW YOU'LL BE ASSESSED

We'll assess you with a 50-50 mix of coursework and exams. Coursework includes essays, a reflective diary, oral presentations, practical exercises and answering hypothetical problem questions.

Assessment is designed to enable us to see how you manage in a variety of situations that reflect the real world of work rather than simply focusing on traditional unseen exams. Throughout the course you'll be given plenty of feedback to help you improve.
