Overview
Partners in crime
If you’re interested in criminal justice policy, litigation and the place of crime in society – and you want to study at the top university for satisfaction with teaching, course and assessment in London (Guardian University League Tables 2019) – this is for you. LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology is a major/minor combination, weighted towards law, so you’ll train for a professional qualification in law with criminology as your minor subject.
Changes are being planned to routes to qualification as a solicitor or barrister. The changes are likely to affect undergraduate students starting law degrees and graduates starting law conversion courses from September 2021
We’ll equip you with an iPad or tablet, complete online support and access to a personal law e-library worth £6000. You’ll also enjoy superb work experience opportunities.
