Course summary

Combine your LLB Law degree with the study of criminology. You'll gain a critical insight into criminal offending, victimology, policing and criminal justice. Law examines the system of rules used by a country or state to regulate society. It's a highly respected, intellectually challenging and popular subject choice. Criminology, as the minor component of this course, allows you to examine complex and critical areas of criminology such as: public protection, race and crime, miscarriages of justice, victimology, policing and police powers, domestic abuse and penology. Both topics complement each other on this integrated programme. Professionally recognised This LLB Law course will provide a solid foundation if you aspire to qualify as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales. As part of this course, you’ll:

  • Explore the intricacies of the legal systems, rules and practices that govern and regulate society
  • Develop your understanding of case law and legislation
  • Gain key transferrable analytical, problem-solving and communication skills
  • Engage with key criminological concepts, policies and theories relating to crime and deviance
  • Cultivate core legal skills, including the ability to communicate fluently using appropriate legal terminology
