Our LLB in Law with Criminology will develop your understanding of the legal system in a rapidly changing social, economic, and political context and how the law is shaped by these forces.


By combining law with criminology, you’ll explore how legal rules govern society and citizens alongside issues of criminalisation, victimisation, and social responses to crime and disorder. Informed by new and emerging research, you'll explore sociological, psychological, and political approaches to crime and its control, and apply your learning to real-world issues and debates.


In addition to the academic skills, you’ll develop, we offer a range of opportunities for professional development and putting your skills into practice.


Through our pro bono schemes, we work with legal professionals and community organisations to support people with real legal issues. You’ll work on real cases and build skills in client care, legal research, writing, public speaking, and communication.


You also take part in placements and work experience. Many of our students complete paralegal placements, building skills in case management, legal writing, and broader employability.


We cover the core subjects required by the Bar Standards Board for future barristers and which are also foundational for practice as a solicitor.  Alongside this, you choose optional modules to explore specialist interests across law and criminology.


Our graduates go on to careers in law, criminal justice, finance, government, media, digital communications, and more.
