LLB Law and Criminology

Objectives Law influences us all every day. Whether you're buying a ticket, downloading something from the internet, or using a mobile phone, law governs and encompasses your everyday life. Our programmes aim to develop your understanding of the fundamental principles of law in 21st century society - not only what has gone before to make the law how it is, but how the law reacts to the real world right now. We're interested in what you think, and how you consider the law ought to react. Law is also concerned with communication and your skills in this area are an essential part of your legal education. Mooting is encouraged at Sheffield, and our students enter national competitions, having even represented England at an international law moot court. Criminology has long been a major specialism within the School of Law and has recently celebrated its 30th anniversary here. The LLB (Hons) Law and Criminology programme is a qualifying law degree. This is a three-year programme which covers the foundational legal subjects and combines them with a thorough study of the principles of criminology. So if, in addition to gaining a qualifying law degree, you are interested in questions such as "What causes crime?" "How does society respond to crime?" and "What are the factors shaping the criminal justice system?", then this could be the course for you.
