Here's what Robert Gordon University says about its Law with Criminology course.

This qualifying law programme will provide students with the required range of law options needed as part of qualifying as a Scottish solicitor but by harnessing the University's teaching in criminology provide an alternative perspective on crime and human behaviour to broaden the student's outlook and understanding of society and what can go wrong.
