Law and Criminology

This joint honours degree is for students who want to understand both legal systems and the social forces that affect them.

You’ll study the foundations of legal knowledge alongside criminological theories of crime, justice and social inequality – giving you a broad, critical view of how the law works in practice.

At Kent, both Law and Criminology are taught with a shared ethos: questioning systems, challenging assumptions, and asking why things are the way they are.

You’ll join a supportive academic community where both schools work closely together to support your development.

With access to Kent Law Clinic, the outdoor clerking scheme, the Restorative Justice Clinic and other real-world opportunities, you’ll build the skills and confidence to take your degree in any number of directions – from justice and advocacy to policy, policing, or further legal training.
