LLB Law with Criminology combines a distinctive approach to legal education from a globally recognised institution, bringing together research-informed academic study and practice-led approaches to law, with study in a pioneering Criminology department focused on pedagogical innovation. You will study the foundations of law in the England and Wales and gain a deeper understanding of crime and the societal responses to crime. You will learn how to contextualise crime in its wider social and political setting and evaluate new policy developments in law and justice. You will be able to understand and evaluate the nature and complexity of the criminal justice system in the UK, as well as international legal and criminal justice systems, and their relevance and influence in a global society.
