Course Overview

Graduating with an LLB from the University of Bedfordshire is the first step on your journey towards becoming a solicitor or barrister as well as a range of other professional opportunities. This LLB is for you if you have a particular interest in crime and punishment aspects of the law.

The LLB is the undergraduate degree for all students wishing to pursue a career in law.

With this degree, you study the core legal subjects all LLB undergraduates are required to study as well as key aspects of criminology, including what constitutes a crime in the eyes of the law. You also look at crime from a social-science perspective - the problem of crime, how crime is controlled and why people offend - and explore contemporary issues such as violence in today's society, and corporate and organised crime.

You learn from a dedicated team with professional experience in the legal industry and criminal justice system. You can extend your in-class learning with a range of fantastic extra-curricular opportunities including our Law Clinic; award-winning Refugee Legal Assistance Project; and mooting programme.
