What you will study: Our LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology course will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to proceed to professional legal qualifications as a solicitor or barrister and to engage critically with the principles of law. You will also gain an awareness of current issues in criminology – from debates surrounding criminal justice, to social control and the role of the police. This degree dives into real crime, how society reacts, and how laws are made (and broken!). It's like a deep dive into the criminal justice system. On our Law with Criminology LLLB, we’ll challenge you to look closer. We'll explore why crime happens, how laws deal with it, and what the consequences are. You'll learn how to make a difference in the criminal justice system. You'll have the opportunity to take a range of optional modules related to contemporary issues in criminology in your second and final years. All second-year law students are enrolled on a Professional Training Preparation module which enables you to develop key employability skills, complete a law-specific version of the University's Employability Award and hear from a wide variety of voices from practice (both legal and non-legal). We also provide a series of employability training seminars, digital lawyering and pro bono opportunities and extracurricular activities focusing on client interviewing, negotiation and mooting.
