Diritto con criminologia

You'll engage with contemporary issues such as social injustice, while developing a critical understanding of the English legal system. You will gain the legal expertise to practice in areas such as criminal law, public law, and equity and trusts. By combining law and criminology, you'll also explore wider national and global questions such as:

what is crime?

what is justice?

is rule-breaking governed by human nature or influenced by the wider social context?

In your first year, you’ll focus on four key areas of English law – contract, tort, criminal and public law – and practise applying the law to hypothetical scenarios. You’ll also explore the core concepts of criminal justice. In your second year of study, you will expand your knowledge of law and explore the central theories of criminology. Your modules will cover topics such as:

Your final year will feature a law dissertation, along with the opportunity to study law and criminology in greater depth. We offer a range of optional modules, including:
