The LLB Law with Criminology course will equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to proceed to professional legal qualifications as a solicitor or barrister and to engage critically with the principles of law. You will also gain an awareness of current issues in criminology – from debates surrounding criminal justice, to social control and the role of the police. This programme combines the expertise of the School of Law with the internationally recognised research and teaching strengths of the Department of Sociology, offering you the chance to develop an understanding of the law and legal principles whilst also studying advanced areas of criminology. We blend traditional and modern teaching methods to help you gain an extensive understanding of the law and the legal system, allowing you to tackle the fundamental issues of fairness, justice and equality that are at the heart of every society. Each year, many former students take up permanent employment with prestigious employers who have included Electricité de France, Clifford Chance, Eversheds and other firms of solicitors, sets of barristers’ chambers and legal departments of large companies. In combination with our student Law Society, we run a variety of events, competitions and activities, such as mooting and client interviewing, that are not only enjoyable and rewarding but will also enhance your employability and introduce you to local and regional solicitors, barristers and other legal professionals. The School of Law also has close links with the University of Law in Guildford and co-operates with the university in a number of career-development activities. Recent graduates have secured roles such as: Compliance Associate, Herbert Smith Freehills LLP; HR Case Manager, Ministry of Justice; Trainee Probation Officer, National Probation Service; Paralegal, Shoosmiths; Safer Custody Coordinator, HMP Maidstone; Police Constable, Metropolitan Police; Corporate Paralegal, Meade King LLP.
