LLB (Hons) LAW WITH CRIMINOLOGY

This course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the law and its place in the criminal justice system. In your first two years you’ll build firm foundations by studying the fundamentals of the law, taking modules that include the Legal System and Legal Methods, and Constitutional and Administrative Law.

As you progress into your second and final years, you’ll study aspects of civil and criminal law, along with modules in Human Rights and European Union Law.

Following a first-year Introduction to Criminology and Criminal Justice module, you’ll then be able to choose what module to study in each of your second and third years for the criminology component.

Your choices include: Theoretical Criminology; Crime, Deviance and Social History; Race/Ethnicity, Crime and Justice; and Youth Crime and Sub-Culture.

You’ll be encouraged to ‘learn by doing’ by taking the chance to gain work experience and take an active role in student clubs and societies.

By studying Law with Criminology, you’ll gain skills and knowledge that are in high demand from employers in a variety of fields.

Many of our students go on to enjoy successful careers as solicitors after completing their legal studies through the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and obtaining a training contract with a law firm.

Others become barristers, going on to take the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) and then obtaining Pupillage in barristers’ chambers. This can lead to a tenancy as a self-employed barrister, or you can practise as an employed barrister.

Some students use their legal knowledge and the other skills and qualities they develop at UEL to pursue other related careers. Communication skills, such as writing, speaking and presenting, and the ability to analyse and evaluate information are just the thing many employers are looking for.
Other career options include:

General management roles in the private or voluntary sectors, e.g. in finance, insurance, media or education
The criminal justice system, e.g. police, prison or probation officer
Public administration, e.g. in local government housing, planning or legal departments
Paralegal or legal executive work in a variety of sectors.
Some students go on to postgraduate study or enter other fields, such as teaching or journalism.
