Course Summary

Law with Criminology is a popular combination for anyone who wants to focus on law and also gain valuable insights into the causes and consequences of crime. You’ll study one criminology module each year, with the rest of your course devoted to law. After graduating, you’ll be exempt from the academic stage of qualifying as a solicitor or barrister. You’ll learn how law is made and administered, and its relationship with the broader social, political and cultural context in which it operates. For the criminology part of the course, you’ll receive a solid introduction to the subject, including an understanding of the criminal justice system, which includes the police, courts and prison systems. While much of the law course is compulsory, you’ll be able to choose from ten criminology modules in your second and third years to pursue areas that are of most interest to you. You’ll be taught by leading academics. Professor Chandra Sriram founded and directed the Centre on Human Rights in Conflict. She has researched and published widely in the areas of international law, international relations, human rights, rule of law, conflict prevention, conflict resolution, peace building, international criminal law and post-atrocity justice.
