Combine studying the law with asking broader questions about why people commit crime and how we, as a society, deal with criminality to better understand the social justice system, working with partners like Victim Support and the Devon and Cornwall Police. Learn from our experienced academics who are either practicing lawyers or have worked in the criminal justice system. Benefit from their deep knowledge and extensive contacts across the sector so you can be ready to make a real difference on some of society’s most pressing issues, from domestic violence to equality and human rights. We've designed our degree to ensure you're prepared for the updated Solicitors Qualifying Exam. Our course also allows you to pursue training as a barrister, with our students regularly winning major Bar Scholarships from the Inns of Court. Use our unrivalled links with local organisations like Landworks and HMP Exeter to understand crime from divergent perspectives. Immerse yourself in the workings of the prisons and probation service and take advantage of our dedicated placements officer to support you to get work experience. Learn by doing and volunteer for our multi-award winning Law Clinic which provides free legal advice to those who need it most in the region. You’ll get the chance not only to shadow staff in the clinic but run every aspect of it, giving back to the community while gaining invaluable professional experience. At Plymouth, your degree really is what you make it. From the second year, you can choose to add in modules from across the School of Society & Culture’s 17 disciplines. You can broaden your perspective and understanding with a focus on subjects like Sociology or History, or you can dabble in crime fiction with a module in Creative Writing.

In your first year, you’ll learn about the core theories, principles and processes of the law, introducing you to how it’s studied and practised. You’ll be able to join the Student Law Society and take part in mooting, debating, negotiation and advocacy competitions. We’ve structured the curriculum so that alongside studying the English legal system, Contract, Tort, Public Law and Human Rights, you’ll begin your study of criminology and start to develop the critical thinking and self-reflective skills that will equip you for your chosen career. In your second year, you’ll focus on real-life scenarios and develop practical skills in areas such as negotiation and advocacy through our very successful Dispute Resolution Skills module. You’ll study Property Law and Criminal Law and deepen your knowledge and understanding of criminology and the criminal justice system. You’ll have the opportunity to study a law module of specific interest by choosing from a range of options including, for example, Employment, EU, and Cybercrime. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience volunteering in our award winning Law Clinic, either as a volunteer or for credit towards your degree programme, and will receive support in gaining a placement if you wish to take the optional placement year. In your final year, you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your research skills with a dissertation on a legal issue that inspires you, or undertake work-based learning for credit, including within our Law Clinic. You’ll be able to further tailor your degree to your interests and career ambitions by choosing from a selection of Criminology and Criminal Justice modules, and Law modules such as, for example, those intending to progress to vocational training as either a solicitor or barrister, including Criminal Law and Practice, Business Law and Practice, and Trusts and Practice.
