LLB (Hons) Law with Criminal Justice

Our LLB (Hons) with Criminal Justice is a qualifying law degree. It is aimed at students who wish to pursue a career in the legal or wider commercial sectors, or in the wider criminal justice system and associated professions.
In addition to studying key legal topics, you will also study Criminal Justice options which examine the agencies and the institutions of the law, looking at their roles, responsibilities and discretion, as well as issues of accountability in relation to current developments in criminal justice. Focusing on key concepts, such as the definition of crime and the philosophy of sentencing. 

The legal process is central to criminal justice studies including, for example, courts and hearings for adults and young people; the theory and practice of sentencing; prison and community based penalties; and the place of human rights in these processes. As with all our LLBs, this program has a practical focus with the skills you need for your career embedded into the course. There is a high level of face-to-face tuition, with experienced tutors, over 90% of whom are lawyers.

ULaw offers excellent employability outcomes for students; 92% of our full-time UK LLB students graduating in 2017 secured employment or further study within six months of successfully completing their course.

As we specialise in teaching, with a focus on problem solving and weighing up arguments, you’ll develop a formidable range of essential skills that can make all the difference when starting your career. The University of Law was awarded a silver rating in the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) in June 2019.
