LLB Law with Criminology with foundation year and placement

University of Surrey

Course overview

The LLB Law with Criminology with Foundation Year and Placement at the University of Surrey allows students to explore the fundamental principles of justice, equity and equality within the framework of English law. They will be introduced to criminology and will look at some of the key debates in criminology. Students will also study a range of legal subjects that apply to different problems within both the legal and public sectors.

The Foundations Year is designed for students who do not meet the entry requirements for the course. It serves as a preparatory year, helping students to gain the necessary skills needed for academic study for the main degree. Students will also undertake a placement year, where they will put theory into practice and gain key skills that will support their development as lawyers in both the private and public sectors.

This programme enables students to understand how the law regulates agreements between individuals and the relationship between the individual and the state. They will also consider the range of current debates in criminology with a view to understanding why people commit crime. Students will be assessed through oral presentations, mooting exercises, case analysis and research projects.
