BA (Hons) Law with Criminology explores the legal framework of modern society, whilst being underpinned by criminological theories and issues. You will develop your legal knowledge and practical skills such as negotiating and client interviewing alongside an applied examination of the fascinating fundamentals of contemporary criminal justice. Law at Winchester has been developed to embed legal skills, which include mooting, negotiation and client‐interviewing as a general learning, teaching and assessment methods. The emphasis on skills-based learning is a core component of the programme and forms a key element in the assessment pattern. Our three‐year Law with Criminology course appeals to those who are fascinated by these two overlapping and intellectually stimulating subjects. Taught by research‐active experts who form part of a strong and lively community of students and staff, you are actively encouraged to critically evaluate a broad range of criminal and legal concepts, developing your understanding for strategic and operational entities. Studying for a law degree with us is a thought-provoking experience.
