Overview
Studying an LLB at Middlesex you will gain the legal skills and abilities to complete the academic stage of training, and with your qualification, embark on the next stage of vocational training to become a fully qualified solicitor or barrister in England and Wales. Studied together, law and criminology provide complementary perspectives that offer a joined-up understanding of law in its social and policy context.
Why study LLB Law with Criminology at Middlesex University?
The LLB Law with Criminology is a qualifying law degree that provides you with the knowledge and understanding of the principles of law, particularly in the Foundations of Legal Knowledge, and an opportunity to develop the associated transferable intellectual and key skills that will enable you to satisfy the requirements set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board for the academic stage of training.
You will study the fundamental doctrines and principles which underpin the law of England and Wales, and will gain specialist knowledge and understanding of law and criminology and the complexities therein, developing skills and equipping you with expertise to move towards professional and related practice in this area.
Work placements are integral to the programme with a vibrant clinical legal education initiative that places law students with professional legal bodies in order to combine work experience with academic education. It also combines skills such as mooting and mediation within the programme and extra-curricular to the programme, including entering teams into formal mooting and mediation competitions nationally and internationally.
