About this course

Our LLB Law with Criminology provides you with a rigorous academic training in the discipline of law integrated with criminology. LLB Law with Criminology is a full-time three-year undergraduate degree that combines a qualifying law curriculum with the study of criminology. You study core areas of law alongside criminology modules that place criminal law and justice within a wider social, political and economic context.

The course provides a strong foundation in legal knowledge while developing a deep understanding of crime, criminal justice and society’s responses to offending. LLB Law with Criminology allows you to explore not only legal rules, but how law operates in society and responds to issues such as social justice, crime prevention and criminal justice policy. You study key areas of English law including contract law, public law, criminal law, tort law and land law, alongside criminology topics such as crime, punishment, policing, justice and social responses to offending.
