This programme aims to develop your knowledge and understanding of the English Legal System, key areas within these systems and specifically the Foundations of Legal Knowledge. Prepare for a career in a law and criminology context by developing professional skills and intellectual skills, including critical thinking, complex problem solving, creativity and reflection.
You will develop a systematic knowledge and critical understanding of the institutions, practices, policies and processes relating to law, justice and punishment that evolve in response to crime and how these have developed.
This degree will provide you with the foundations of law alongside another discipline as law firms require graduates to come with a wider understanding of the world in which they function, and we want to provide you with the knowledge and understanding of another discipline to widen your employment options. This is particularly useful if you aspire to following a career in the wider criminal justice system, such as the police, prison, probation and youth justice.
The course also aims to enhance your transferable skills of research, interpretation, critical evaluation and your ability to turn theory into practice.
This course offers the opportunity to understand the fundamentals of Law that govern all aspects of life.
It develops knowledge and understanding of the core schools of criminological thought, their historical and political foundations and practical application.
