Law with Criminology (Hons) University of Hull

Overview

With the Law with Criminology (Hons) programme at University of Hull  you’ll be taught by experts whose research influences policy, regulatory change and public debate. We pioneered the academic study of criminology over 50 years ago and have built a powerful reputation and strong links with criminal justice agencies. These partnerships give us unique insight into the world of criminology, so everything you learn is shaped by the latest industry knowledge.

We provide you with much more than a degree. We’re all about preparation for your career.

You'll practice legal skills in mock trials and Law Society mooting and client interviewing competitions. Build experience on mini-pupillages with Wilberforce Chambers and internships with local law firms and government. And work on real cases – from family mediation to employment tribunals – in our Legal Advice Centre and Mediation Centre.
