Law with Criminology

About this programme

Investigate crime through the lens of society to understand reasons behind, and responses to, criminal behaviour. This course satisfies the academic component of Bar training (subject to minimum pass marks and number of attempts). This degree acts as a gateway to further qualification as both a solicitor and a barrister. The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) must be taken by graduates wishing to become a solicitor. This course allows you to study law, including criminal law, while also developing your knowledge and expertise in the complementary subject of criminology. You’ll study crime in society, encompassing both explanations for and responses to criminal behaviour. You’re taught by research-active faculty, learning about both theoretical and practical aspects of law. You’ll be part of a vibrant community with an active student law body. Through the Sussex Law Clinics , you can gain valuable work experience of the law in action before you graduate. We also have links with leading law firms, who sponsor our student competitions in national and international mooting, criminal advocacy, client interviewing, negotiation, mediation and legal debating . Our supportive alumni are happy to provide career advice for current students. “ I was always set on studying at Sussex, not only because of its reputation but also because of the status of the Law School .” Get a feel for campus life and learn more about your course.
