Consistently rated one of the best law and criminology departments in the UK by our students, we offer a range of courses which examine the complex, and often contradictory, relationships between crime, justice and the law:
- Qualifying Law Degrees,
- Degrees in Criminology,
- Degrees in Policing (including a pre-join degree in Professional Policing)
- Degrees in Politics.
Strong links with the legal profession and the criminal justice system broaden your experience through interesting work placements and visits to important legal institutions and places relevant to the curriculum, such as The UK Supreme Court, The European Parliament and the European Commission, the Police Headquarters in Cologne and the Houses of Parliament.
