What this course is about
UCAS code: M212
Here's what Bangor University says about its Criminal Law course.
This Criminal Law LLB law (Hons) degree gives you a deeper understanding of crime, criminal law and the criminal justice system.
As well as covering the fundamental areas of the Law on this degree, specialist modules allow you to focus on areas of interest within Criminal Law. For example, you could delve into prosecution processes, sentencing and how actions are criminalised by the State, or focus more on the human aspects of criminal behaviour.
You will graduate with a Law degree which meets the academic requirements for qualification as a barrister (Bar Standards Board compliant), but also provides essential knowledge for students aspiring to be solicitors. You can also choose vocational subjects tested in the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examinations (SQE) providing you with a gateway to professional training to become a solicitor.
You’ll be supported to develop the confidence and skills to ask and answer cogent questions about the law and effectively communicate reasoned arguments, both orally and in writing. You'll gain a range of valuable skills including, for example, strong self-discipline, critical thinking and diligence, not to mention outstanding communication, debating and negotiation skills from mooting in our mock courtroom.
Your understanding of the social implications of crime will be attractive to the many associated bodies and organisations involved with social research, law making, policy or representation.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Law (with Foundation Year) M10F.
