UCAS code: M1M9
Here's what Edge Hill University says about its Law and Criminal Justice course.
Our LLB (Hons) Law and Criminal Justice degree provides an overview of legal and criminal justice systems and institutions and explores how we respond to it. It will provide you with an engaging, insightful and thorough insight into the world of law and crime, equipping you with the practical and substantive knowledge to practice law.
You’ll explore contemporary case studies and their critiques to sharpen your critical analysis skills. You’ll look at the police, criminal courts, prisons and youth justice services under the microscope, and understand the legal system as a whole – including its impact on society.
Joining our Law and Criminal Justice programme also means that you’re embarking on an immersive learning experience, with opportunities to practise your mooting and negotiation skills in our on-campus Moot Court Room, provide legal advice to the community in our Law Clinic or act as a criminal defence lawyer in our ‘Crime House’.
You will also benefit from being taught by current and former legal and criminal justice practitioners and internationally recognised academics and can take advantage of our extensive industry links.
At our School, we pride ourselves on providing not only an excellent academic experience but also a supportive environment where you can thrive. We offer a broad range of extra-curricular activities to enhance your university experience, which includes Work Placement opportunities, Careers Fairs, Insight Days, Panel Events, our Student Law Society, wellbeing weeks, commercial awareness programmes, opportunities to participate in external competitions and educational visits to Inns, conferences and courts of law, such as the UK Supreme Court and the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
A qualifying law degree This programme is a Qualifying Law Degree. A qualifying law degree is needed for those wishing to pursue a career as a barrister. The degree fulfils the first academic component required by the Bar Standards Board to become a barrister, while also providing a strong foundation to embark on the new routes of qualifying as a solicitor through the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

The SU website is very confusing.

Campus is always clean and tidy, it feels quite safe. The SU club is enjoyable and fun to go on a night out. Ormskirk has a lot to offer in terms of fun and activities.

Accommodation costs are ridiculous, the rooms are very small. I have contacted finance support and they were very rude to me because I had spent my entire student loan. The shop is way too expensive for groceries.

Inclusion helped me when I needed extra support during a difficult time at uni.

The gym is really accessible, it is a good price. The library is very big so you can always get a spot, it is always clean and a nice environment.

It is very interesting. The teachers take time to get to know you and teach you the course content. They give feedback on all essays and you can meet with them to discuss feedback and how to improve.
