LLB Law and Criminolog
Our LLB Law and Criminology (2-year degree) ranked in the top 20 in the Guardian University Guide 2019, the unique structure of Buckingham’s LLB Law and Criminology degree allows our students to become confident, competent lawyers, after just two years (eight or nine terms) of study. In addition, they will also have studied criminology at all stages of their degree, allowing them to understand the origins, causes and consequences of crime and criminality.
With an English qualifying law degree (QLD) from Buckingham, you will be recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board as qualified to be exempt from the academic stage of training for entry into the legal profession. Every LLB programme at Buckingham including the LLB Law and Criminology provides our graduates with this qualification.
The LLB Law and Criminology course delivers a qualifying law degree, but is different to the standard LLB in that it includes 120 units of criminologically relevant subjects.
The programme outcomes for knowledge and understanding include knowledge and understanding of legal and criminological research methods, referencing protocols and the different primary and secondary sources of law. Criminology itself is an interdisciplinary study comprised of the legal, social, psychological and cultural aspects of crime.
