Why Law with Criminology?
The LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology is a distinctive programme offering you the ability to take a fully Qualifying Law Degree and combine this with Criminology. It offers an excellent way to prepare for a career in the field of criminal justice (for example, Crown Prosecution Service, the police service, probation service, prison service or other related fields).This course will enable you to study the essential foundations of law while exploring the impacts and explanations for crime including punishment and victimisation.
Taking a Huddersfield Law School degree means you can choose to take an LLB in Law, LLB in Law and Practice, LLB in Law and Criminology and an MLaw (incorporating LLB) as an integrated Masters in Law and Practice. Whichever pathway you choose, all degree programmes support you in exploring your options and the career path you wish to take and you can change your route from the LLB Law with Criminology into one of the other Law degrees right up to the end of your second year and choose the path that is best for you, for your final year.
How will you learn?
You will learn through practical application and delivered lectures, workshops, seminars and group work sessions.
* You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of legal principles and core legal concepts.
* You’ll take law and criminology modules each year and be able to start focussing on the topics that interest you in your second and third year, when you can choose from a range of optional modules. *Our strong alumni networks provide wide opportunities to engage with local practitioners and our Law School Professional Mentoring scheme is a particular success which enables our students to bridge the gap between education and working in the legal sector.
