BA Criminal Law and Criminal Justice
Course overview
The BA (Hons) Criminal Law and Criminal Justice programme at Liverpool John Moores University is a comprehensive degree that prepares students for careers in both the legal and criminal justice sectors. The course examines how criminal law legislation impacts real-world policies and practices. It is taught by academics and legal professionals with practical experience, providing a solid grounding in both subjects.
Assessments in this course combine traditional methods, such as unseen exams and essays, with practical assessments like mooting (arguing a legal case). Students are also encouraged to undertake work placements and voluntary work to enhance their skills and gain experience. This helps them understand how the criminal law and criminal justice systems function in practice.
