Course Overview

Designed to allow you to gain a qualifying law degree, as well as to explore crime and justice from a sociological perspective, LLB Law with Criminology is a course for people who wish to embark on a career in law and lift the lid on some of the most important and contentious issues facing society.

You will study at our University of Salford campus close to Manchester city centre.

Our goal is to prepare you for a fulfilling life and professional career. Along the way, you’ll learn to be curious, adaptable and confident, ready to meet the digital, ethical and sustainability challenges of the 21st century.

An industry-focus is placed at the heart of every programme delivered at Salford Business School. Modules are designed around the current needs of employers and the law profession.

We also place great emphasis on the development of your professional skills; you will have the opportunity to shadow working lawyers and judges, practise your learning during a year’s work placement and develop your client care skills by helping people looking for support from our legal advice schemes. In this way, you learn to put your academic knowledge into practice.

Extracurricular activities, like mooting and trips, are organised by our student led Law Society, complementing your studies and enhancing your experience throughout. Through initiatives like the SILKS law clinics, you’ll have the chance to offer Family and Housing Law support to people in the region, allowing you to not only practise what you’ve learned, but provide help for vulnerable people in the community.

Law with Criminology equips you with the tools you need for a successful career in the legal sector and an advanced knowledge of criminology. The programme provides the foundations of legal knowledge required by the Bar Standards Board and identified by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) as being essential to progression to any of the several careers in Law.

You'll also have access to a wide range of opportunities that help you develop your real-world skills, such as live projects, a year's paid work placement and study abroad.
