Law with Criminology

Overview

In studying both together, you'll be able to approach many topics from the viewpoint of two disciplines. You will learn how to contextualise crime in its wider social and political setting, as well as how to evaluate new policy developments in law and justice.

You will develop an understanding of the nature and complexity of the criminal justice system in the UK, together with that of international legal and criminal justice systems, and their relevance and influence in global society.

Career opportunities

You'll benefit from unique networking, training and work-based opportunities to build a truly successful career. In both subjects, the transferable skills you develop during your time with us will set you up for a number of paths you may not even have considered.
