Overview
Complement your law studies with an understanding criminal behaviour and the processes of criminal justice.
On this LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology degree you’ll learn about competing perspectives of crime, how social order can be challenged and maintained, and how the world deals with the crimes of the powerful — such as genocide and war crimes. You’ll develop your knowledge of the law and legal frameworks too, which builds an ideal foundation for a career in the police or prison services.
You'll apply your learning throughout the course with real world scenarios or live client work, and gain practical experience with opportunities such as the Community Lawyer module.
By taking an optional paid placement year before or after your final year of study, you'll graduate with a year of industry experience too. Our Placement Club will support you throughout the placement application process, whenever you choose to complete your placement.
