COURSE CURRICULUM

The LL.B. Law with Criminology degree at Canterbury Christ Church University offers a comprehensive curriculum that integrates core legal principles with criminological study, preparing students for careers in law, criminal justice, and related fields. In the first year, students build a strong foundation with modules in contract law, criminal law, social justice in the English legal system, and crime, society, and the law, alongside student success modules to support academic and professional development. The second year expands legal knowledge through land law, public law, and torts law, while also examining global crime and culture to provide a broader understanding of crime in international contexts. In the final year, students study equity and trusts, policing, punishment and rehabilitation, and complete a European Union Law dissertation project, developing research, analytical, and critical thinking skills. Optional modules in corporate law, medical law, and information and communication technology law allow students to tailor their studies to specific interests and career aspirations. Across all three years, the course emphasizes the interplay between law and criminology, enabling students to understand the causes and consequences of crime, evaluate the effectiveness of legal and justice systems, and apply ethical reasoning to complex societal issues. Graduates emerge with the knowledge, skills, and practical insight required for success in legal and criminological professions.
