Criminology is a major specialism here and this programme was one of the first of its type in the country. This three-year course 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. The learning and assessment percentages could vary depending on the modules you choose. On completion of this course many of our students enter the legal profession, either as barristers or solicitors. For those planning to become solicitors, we offer an in-house Legal Practice Course. Many of our graduates secure sought-after training contracts as solicitors in top law firms and we're in the top 10 UK law schools for pupil barristers.
