Course summary
Combine Law and Criminology to tackle social injustice and create positive societal change. In this distinctive LLB, you'll study law, policy and the social construction of crime.
Why choose Law and Criminology at York?
Critically engage with issues of social justice. You'll examine the inequalities and discrimination within society and the criminal justice system. In turn, you'll understand how legal and sociological approaches can challenge these inequalities.
Be supported by the joint expertise of both legal researchers and criminologists. With their guidance, you'll learn to tackle legal problems in a realistic way. You'll work collaboratively to analyse real-world legal issues, through our problem-based learning approach. You'll also draw on their expertise when undertaking your own legal and criminological research.
Engage with individuals currently working in and adjacent to the criminal justice system. You'll have the opportunity to network with and learn more from employers and alumni in York Law School's regular events. You'll also have the chance to work directly with people currently working in the criminal justice system in a major group project.
Develop your employability through career-focused events and opportunities. During your studies, you'll have access to York Law School's Careers and Development Programme. This programme offers a range of employability-focused events and support throughout the year.
Our graduates are creative, ethical and robust problem solvers. You'll be well-equipped for careers across the legal profession, the criminal justice system and beyond.
