Course Description
Develop an in-depth understanding of crime, justice and the legal system with our combined Criminology and Law degree.
- Study and learn to apply the interrelated theory behind crime and the law.
- Prepare for a wide range of careers, either within or beyond the criminal justice and legal sectors.
- Studying Law and Criminology will allow you to appreciate complex legal situations through the lens of Criminology.
On this combined Criminology and Law degree, you’ll explore the connections between crime, the legal system and criminal justice.
In your Criminology studies, you'll explore the criminal justice system, analyse the causes of criminal behaviour, look at how crime impacts society, and learn how this can inform policing, law and punishment.
You’ll gain a broad understanding of the law and legal systems. You’ll learn the law, and also gain valuable practical skills that could be used by a lawyer in practice and in a range of related careers.
If you decide not to pursue a career in law or criminal justice, this course will ensure you’re well prepared for a variety of roles that require a similar skill set, such as in governance, public policy and finance.
Why study Law and Criminology?
Criminology and Law are naturally overlapping subject areas, and by studying them together you’ll get to explore the causes, motivations and patterns of criminal conduct, while gaining a deep understanding of the justice system and the law.
Your studies will also cover other legal areas such as business, property, media and employment, giving you a wide range of skills and knowledge that will enhance and broaden your employability prospects.
