Course summary

100% of our Law with Criminology students were in employment or further study 15 months after finishing their course - Graduate Outcomes Survey 2025

Study legal principles and practices, and explore criminological theories and the criminal justice system with a degree in Law with Criminology at Canterbury Christ Church University.

This four-year degree includes a built-in foundation year. This will provide you with a supportive gateway to higher education if you don’t quite meet the entry requirements for the undergraduate degree or would like to develop the academic study skills you will need before beginning a degree course. On successful completion of the foundation year, you will move on to your chosen undergraduate degree and will graduate with a full undergraduate degree at the end of the course.

Our innovative and industry-led degree will provide you with a deep understanding of foundational and advanced legal principles, the structure and function of legal institutions, and the skills to interpret and apply the law in various contexts. Criminology content will broaden your knowledge in this fascinating field, helping you to understand and apply key criminological theories and to situate the law within the criminal justice system and society more generally.

You will rigorously analyse law with an explanation of the causes, consequences, and social responses to crime, creating a comprehensive and interdisciplinary experience. You'll build key legal and criminological skills that are essential for graduate employment, including critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, and ethical awareness.

The combination of legal education and criminological insight this course offers will equip you with the knowledge and skills to pursue a variety of professional roles within the legal and criminal justice sectors.

We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. So we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate.
