Law and Criminology

The LLB (Hons) Law and Criminology degree is a stimulating and challenging course that focuses on criminal justice, technology and employability.

This LLB will combine the foundations of legal knowledge with a criminal law and criminal justice focus. It will appeal to students who have a particular interest in the criminal justice system. The course will provide an insight into the relationship between criminal law, crime and social justice; it will help students to better understand the causes, consequences, and prevention of crime from social, legal and political perspectives.

Employability is at the heart of everything we do. At USW, you will benefit from our award-wining Legal Advice Clinic, which provides opportunities for every law student to gain vital skills that you can take with you into the workplace. In addition to this, we have strong connections with industry and host a range of guest speakers who are experts in their field, to provide context and real-life examples relating to the topics you study.

Outside of the classroom, you can become part of our thriving USW Student Law Society and get involved in a range of sporting, social and networking activities. Students benefit from our expertise in mooting from Year 1 and can also get involved in mooting competitions.
