The Law and Criminology degree programme at Cardiff is designed to equip you with an understanding of core areas of law and the legal system, as well as to provide a broad introduction to Criminology.

This degree programme reflects the centrality of law in its social and political context. In each year, you take modules to the value of 80 credits in Law and modules to the value of 40 credits relating to Criminology. Law modules include Criminal Law, Company Law, Family Law, Medicine, Ethics and Law and Constitutionalism and Human Rights in Central Europe. Courses available in Criminology in your second and third years range from Criminality and Victimisation and Crime Control, Regulation and Policing to Prisons and Community Sanctions.

The Criminology half of the programme is intended to complement the content of the Law programme, by developing in students a critical appreciation of the processes of Criminological research, Criminological debates and the operation of the criminal justice system.

The Cardiff Law and Criminology degree meets the requirements of the governing bodies of the solicitors and barristers branches of the legal profession so that LLB graduates may obtain exemption from the academic stage of the professional examinations. Cardiff Law School also offers the Legal Practice Course and Bar Professional Training Course for students who wish to qualify as barristers or solicitors, so you will not need to go elsewhere to complete your legal education.
