LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology
University of East AngliaNorwich Research Park, Norwich
Course overview
Our Law with Criminology degree is aimed at students who want to study for a traditional English Law Degree alongside the fascinating and popular field of Criminology. This is the study of the nature, causes of and responses to crime and criminality, including the criminal justice system. Situated within historic Earlham Hall, UEA Law School stands out as a premier institution, providing an immersive and personalised learning environment.
You will benefit from dedicated lecturers who are experts in various legal and criminological domains and be part of a supportive community of scholars and students. With active student-led law and criminology societies, you will develop the skills and confidence necessary to excel within the legal profession and beyond. The course combines the seven foundation subjects of a traditional law degree with several specific criminology modules.
The semesterised approach to teaching, where each module is taught in one semester, also allows you to select from a wide range of optional modules later in the course (seven across your second and final year) so that you can tailor your degree around the subjects that interest you and stimulate your curiosity. Choices include a variety of law and criminology modules as well as modules from outside of the Law School including several Sociology modules.
