Overview

World-class criminology academics teach here and are researching the latest ideas on crime and criminal justice.

This three-year course is an LLB law degree. It covers the foundational legal subjects and combines them with a thorough study of the principles of criminology. These include criminal justice, explanations of crime and punishment, and other responses to the phenomenon of crime.

There’s a wide variety of optional modules, both in law subjects and in many aspects of criminology and criminal justice.

You may choose to spend an additional year studying (in English) at a partner university overseas. Our study abroad scheme is the largest of its kind in the UK and over a third of our law students choose to spend a year abroad.

Career opportunities

A lot of our LLB graduates go on to become barristers. Many others are solicitors with regional, national and international firms. A law degree can also be excellent preparation for a career in banking, human rights, management or politics. Among our distinguished alumni are numerous judges, three Lord Justices of Appeal and two best-selling novelists.
