Our qualifying law degree, Law with Criminology LLB(Hons) develops your understanding of the principles of law and which addresses specialist topics including crime theory and the criminal justice system.
Taken over three years, or four years with an optional salaried placement, core learning provides practical skills in presentation, negotiation, oration, mooting and advocacy and develops an understanding of the English legal system.
As you progress, option modules provide opportunities to tailor your learning. Learning is delivered through a stimulating mix of seminars, guest lectures, skills sessions and workshops. Extracurricular activities, such as industry-sponsored mooting and client interviewing competitions and pro bono work, allow you to further develop practical skills in problem-solving, critical analysis and communication.
This degree is currently recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board. It is a qualifying law degree, which means that Law LLB(Hons) graduates will have completed the academic stage of training for entry into the legal profession.
The SRA have announced that they are introducing a new qualifying exam – the Solicitors Qualification Exam (SQE) – which will take the place of the existing Legal Practice Course. There's more information on this change in the Solicitors Qualification Exam section below.
This course is one of three LLB pathways offered by Brighton Business School, alongside Law LLB(Hons) and Law with Business LLB(Hons).

Year 1
Our law degrees share the same first year modules, introducing you to the different aspects of law, such as legal research skills and courtroom procedures.
Modules- Public Law
Public law is a subject of great topical interest, which is in a constant process of evolution and cannot be fully understood without reference to the UK’s political history and its social and cultural development.
This module will provide you with a good understanding of constitutional legal principles, the major features of the UK’s constitution, civil rights, judicial review and an awareness of significant changes and developments in the subject.
- Criminal Justice and Theory
This module introduces you to the main institutions and agencies constituting the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales. You'll explore some of the key debates and theories in relation to crime, justice and punishment, and gain a grounding in the history and development of criminology as a discrete discipline, and an understanding of how this fits within the wider study of law and justice.
- Law in Practice
This module will provide you with the underpinning skills and strategies required to study law successfully at undergraduate level as well as developing attributes that contribute to employability.
You'll develop skills essential for the study of law and for professional practice through the development of presentation and communication skills, both oral and written. You will be prepared for the employment process, including preparation for law vacation schemes, placements and subsequent employment.
- Legal Structures and Legal Ethics
This module will introduce you to essential areas:
- the way legal institutions in the UK operate and how law is made
- theoretical concepts of law and socio-political aspect of law and society
- ethical considerations relating to the legal arena
- introduction to current legal issues.
You will be equipped with knowledge and intellectual skills essential to other area of academic development.
- Law of Torts
This module will provide you with a detailed knowledge of a number of torts including common law negligence, breach of statutory duty, protection against interference with the person, protection of property interests, protection of reputation and remedies associated with these torts.
