About this course

Study crime and law from every angle. You’ll learn how to apply criminology to legal issues on Scotland’s only Law with Criminology undergraduate degree. Combing law studies with criminology makes you hugely employable.

Learn how to apply criminology to the analysis of legal issues and combine your legal studies with subjects such as criminal justice and criminal behaviour. Your unique employability skills will thoroughly prepare you for the workplace, as you go beyond the crime dramas and work in the legal world. You’ll gain:

  • A critical understanding of the theories and concepts behind Law and Criminology.

  • The history of these fascinating disciplines and how they’ve developed.

  • A detailed knowledge of how the two subjects complement each other.

  • An essential range of legal skills and research methods.

    You’ll use the university’s moot room for debates and mock court appearances, presenting 'pretend' legal arguments.

    Work placements in legal practices will broaden your knowledge of the law and criminal justice systems. Expert guest speakers and study abroad options all help to prepare you for the workplace.

    Many Abertay graduates go on to become solicitors and advocates (after further study). But with criminology in the mix, you could also work in the police, other agencies like the probation service, the Scottish Government, legal journalism or the third sector.
