Course summary

Interested in a rewarding career in the field of criminal justice or the legal sector? Our Law with Criminology LLB(Hons) course will prepare you for your career, providing you a well-rounded background in the foundations of law and criminology. Completing an LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology course can lead you to a wide range of career opportunities that bridge the fields of law and criminology for example, criminal lawyer, criminologist, police officer/detective, correction officer, private investigator and many more. In addition to learning the seven Foundations of Legal Knowledge (FLK), you’ll learn about the impacts and explanations for crime, including punishment and victimisation. By the end of the course, you’ll be well equipped for a career in the Crown Prosecution Service, police service, probation service, prison service and related fields. Our flexible course structures mean that you can wait until the end of Year 2 to decide whether you want to follow an academic route and enroll onto, for example, our LLB (Hons) Law.
