Law with Criminology LLB

The Law with Criminology degree brings together the academic excellence of Birmingham Law School and the School of Social Policy, offering students a comprehensive understanding of criminality from multiple perspectives. This integrated program investigates fundamental questions about the causes of crime and the most effective responses to lawbreaking, combining rigorous legal study with criminological analysis. Students gain critical understanding of law making and enforcement, with criminology providing essential context to legal frameworks and their application. The curriculum offers a wide range of specialist modules in both Law and Criminology, taught by expert academics from both departments who bring research-led teaching to the classroom. This interdisciplinary approach is particularly valuable for those intending to practice criminal law or work within the criminal justice system, as it develops nuanced understanding of both legal principles and the social contexts in which they operate. Through the Centre for Employability, Professional Legal Education and Research (CEPLER), students access exceptional opportunities to build practical skills, confidence, and employability, ensuring they stand out in a competitive jobs market. Graduates emerge equipped with the analytical tools and contextual understanding necessary for careers in criminal law, the justice system, or related fields where knowledge of both legal and social dimensions of crime is essential.
