Description

Course description

Lacramioara Elena Metehau

My course gave me the chance to be in touch with various people in this area, such as lawyers, judges, police officers and detectives, who deepened my knowledge about the legal and judicial system in the UK.

I had the opportunity to broaden my horizons and to study the subject I'm passionate about in a different and unconventional way.

Lacramioara Elena Metehau / LLB Law with Criminology

Our LLB Law with Criminology course is a qualifying law joint honours degree that builds on the many links between the related disciplines of Law and Criminology.

In studying both together, you'll be able to approach many topics from the viewpoint of two disciplines. You will learn how to contextualise crime in its wider social and political setting, as well as how to evaluate new policy developments in law and justice.

You will develop an understanding of the nature and complexity of the criminal justice system in the UK, together with that of international legal and criminal justice systems, and their relevance and influence in global society.

Subjects are taught by both lawyers and criminologists working together, who are actively engaged in researching current topics that are relevant across disciplines, enabling you to benefit from up-to-date thinking and knowledge.

As a qualifying law degree, this course prepares you for a professional career in law as a solicitor or barrister, as well as careers in criminology and community justice.

Aims

We aim to provide you with a knowledge and understanding of criminology and law as academic disciplines, at a breadth and depth appropriate to a first degree qualification.

The course imparts an understanding of criminality, the institutions of law and criminal justice within your social, economic and political context, and provides you with the opportunity to develop specialised knowledge and skills in certain areas of criminology, socio-legal studies and law.

We will help you to develop social skills, and understanding of society and the role of criminal justice and law within society, and to develop an awareness of global challenges and how they are dealt with in different political, legal and cultural systems.

You'll have the opportunity to apply for a paid Q-Step internship during the summer between Years 2 and 3 of the course.

Teaching and learning

Formal based contact hours consisting of lectures and seminars, amount to between 10 and 12 hours per week. You will to spend in the region of 40 hours per week studying inclusive of lectures and seminars.

Lectures are delivered to a large cohort of students, covering an overview of a particular subject. Seminars are small groups of up to 12 students and an academic member of staff. You will discuss and present aspects of a legal topic which you are learning. You are expected to prepare in advance for the discussion and you are also required to submit written work for each subject.

We also offer skills sessions throughout the year, working in conjunction with local and international lawyers and our Careers Service to enhance our students' academic learning progress and employability.

If you take the study abroad route, you will complete course units in your host university, taught in English, which may focus on law subjects, or include other topics of interest.

In addition, weekly in-sessional classes are offered to help students with English research and essay-writing skills.

Coursework and assessment

Methods of assessing your work are as varied as the teaching methods we use.

In addition to the usual exams and essay, some of your work will be assessed through oral presentations, short exercises or written pieces such as book reviews, and project work.

We are keen that learning also takes place through the detailed feedback we give you when assessing your work. You will get constructive comments, criticism, and suggestions for improvement on all your written and oral work.

In this way, we hope to make the process of learning a positive and enjoyable process.
