LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology

Like all programmes at Salford Business School, the modules delivered on this course are designed around the current needs of employers and professional bodies. With the opportunity for all students to complete a paid work placement between their second and third years, you will enter the world of work with an in-depth knowledge of the industry and of key business concepts.

In the first year of the programme, you’ll study a number of modules aimed at introducing law as an area of academic study and professional practice. Throughout the remainder of the course, these key concepts are expanded upon and combined with criminology related modules. In your final year, you have a wide choice of modules so you can pick the topics that interest you and support your career ambitions.

A career-focused and industry-relevant approach is taken to the curriculum, meaning that the syllabus is designed to reflect the current needs of employers and encourage the development of professional skills. You will also have access to a wide number of out-of-the-classroom activities to develop your real-world skills.

When you study a Law programme at Salford Business School, you will have access to opportunities that will help increase your practical experience, employability and legal skills.

We strongly encourage you to develop your personal skills and your confidence by taking a year-long work placement in your third year and/or studying abroad for a term or a year.

If you are looking to study any law degree, you need to be prepared to work consistently to meet the standards and deadlines required by the academic and professional strands of a qualifying law degree.

Law with Criminology involves a high level of self-directed study and research outside of the classroom; you will be required to read each week, and digest and critically analyse complex source materials. You will be expected to be up-to-date with news and enjoy reading, debating and developing your own arguments.

But, as well as this hard work and dedication, you will meet great people like yourself, have access to a wide range of learning activities and open the doors to an exciting and rewarding career.

All of our courses are taught and assessed in English, so as an applicant you must meet our minimum English language entry requirements. If you are an international student and not from a majority English speaking country, you will need IELTS 6 with no element below 5.5.

We also accept a range of other English language qualifications. If you do not have the English language requirements, you could take the Pre-Sessional English course, or the International Foundation Year to gain entry onto this degree.
