Course Overview

Our law with criminology degree provides an overview of legal systems and institutions with a minor specialism in criminology. You’ll get an understanding of the law’s role in society and key legal principles such as civil liabilities, legal reasoning, and contract law.

You’ll explore contemporary case studies and their critiques to sharpen your critical analysis skills. You’ll look at the police, criminal courts, prisons, and youth justice services under the microscope, and understand the legal system as a whole – including its impact on society.

In the final year, you’ll choose an optional module from a variety of specialist areas of Law. Outside of the classroom, you’ll be offered the chance to visit courts including the Old Bailey, the Supreme Court, and Parliament in London, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, and the European Parliament and European Commission in Brussels.
