Overview

LLB Law in Practice with Criminology at Swansea University is a specialised programme that prepares you for careers at the intersection of law and criminology, while also providing you with valuable workplace exposure. Designed to prepare you for a wide range of careers, the programme is grounded in academic excellence and informed by leading research. It blends theory and practice, enabling you to understand how legal systems operate within wider social, political, and economic contexts, while critically examining the causes and consequences of crime. From the outset, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of the foundations of legal knowledge, including Contract Law, Tort Law, Criminal Law, Public Law, Land Law, Equity and Trusts, and EU Law. These core subjects satisfy the academic stage of training required by the Bar Standards Board, and support those wishing to pursue the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). Alongside these core areas, you will study criminology modules that explore topics such as the Sociology of Crime, Policing, Punishment, Youth Justice, and the Criminal Justice System. In the fourth year of your LLB, you will undertake a paid internship with an employer in a legal setting. This will allow you to experience legal practice firsthand, where you can pick up key skills that will be infinitely useful in your future career. As you progress, you can tailor your degree through a wide range of optional modules in both law and criminology. Law options include Human Rights, Medical Law, Cybercrime, Environmental Law, Family Law, and World Trade, while criminology options may cover Penology, Criminal Psychology, and Terrorism and Violent Extremism.
