By taking Law and Criminology in our interdisciplinary school, you will enjoy an integrated, coherent course that allows many topics to be approached from the viewpoint of both disciplines. Many of our teaching staff take a socio-legal approach to their research and teaching, which is particularly well suited to this joint course. Topics such as sentencing and the treatment of victims of crime require an understanding of both disciplines, and are often taught by teams of lawyers and criminologists together.

The course allows students to specialise in crime-related subjects that may be useful for a legal career specialising in criminal law and civil liberties. The course also caters for students who may wish to become lawyers but who are simply interested in learning more about crime and justice. I
