Consistently rated one of the best law and criminology departments in the UK by our students, we offer a range of qualifying law degrees, degrees in criminology and criminal justice and an undergraduate degree in Policing, which examine the complex, and often contradictory, relationships between crime, justice and the law.
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 European Parliament in Strasbourg and Auschwitz in Poland.
