Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Law and Criminology (MM19)

3-Year Bachelor's Degree

Program Summary

BA(Hons) Criminology and Law allows students to explore modules spanning criminal justice, such as criminal law, crime patterns, policing, media, youth, drugs, terrorism, serious offending and penology. They'll gain a solid grounding in criminological research methods and practice plus develop valuable legal skills such as mooting and negotiating.

This course gives the real-world insight and students will develop professional abilities through community engagement and work-based learning. They'll study law and criminology equally in their first year and then have the option to change to a major in law or criminology from Year two.

If they decide to specialise in law by studying UWE's LLB(Hons) Law with Criminology, it'll provide a good foundation for those students who go on to sit the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE).

For those students who aspire to be barristers, the LLB(Hons) Law with Business includes the core subjects which they'll need to satisfy the academic stage of training before studying the Bar Training Course (BTC).

Criminology and Law students are highly valued by employers due to their broad skillset and knowledge base. This degree combination leads naturally to a career in criminal law.
