Law with Criminology LLB(Hons)

Why choose this course?

This pathway enables you to include a minor field of criminology within your qualifying law degree. The curriculum includes the core LLB Foundations of Legal Knowledge subjects, together with core criminology modules at each level.

Criminology is the study of crime in society, so law and criminology are complementary subjects.

What will you study?

You will apply the study of sociology, psychology, politics and economics to an understanding of the major questions in law making, law breaking and law enforcement. The course enables you to investigate questions such as the nature of criminal behaviour, why individuals commit crime, how and why the definition of crime changes over time and between societies, and how society should deal with criminal activity.
