Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: MM19
Here's what Abertay University says about its Law with Criminology course.
Study crime and law from every angle. You’ll learn how to apply criminology to legal issues on Scotland’s only Law with Criminology undergraduate degree. Combing law studies with criminology makes you hugely employable.
Learn how to apply criminology to the analysis of legal issues and combine your legal studies with subjects such as criminal justice and criminal behaviour. Your unique employability skills will thoroughly prepare you for the workplace, as you go beyond the crime dramas and work in the legal world. You’ll gain:
-
A critical understanding of the theories and concepts behind Law and Criminology.
-
The history of these fascinating disciplines and how they’ve developed.
-
A detailed knowledge of how the two subjects complement each other.
-
An essential range of legal skills and research methods.
You’ll use the university’s moot room for debates and mock court appearances, presenting 'pretend' legal arguments.
Work placements in legal practices will broaden your knowledge of the law and criminal justice systems. Expert guest speakers and study abroad options all help to prepare you for the workplace.
Many Abertay graduates go on to become solicitors and advocates (after further study). But with criminology in the mix, you could also work in the police, other agencies like the probation service, the Scottish Government, legal journalism or the third sector.

Abertay University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
