Law with Criminology with Foundation Year

Laws are rules that regulate a society, but are also the product of that society. This course brings together two complimentary disciplines of Law and Criminology to provide a theoretical and practical understanding of crime, the influence of law, and contemporary issues in criminal justice.

Pioneers of undergraduate teaching of Criminology in the UK, Keele introduces you to criminological theories to build a clear understanding of crime and investigate contemporary ‘crime problems’ facing society. You will develop crucial critical analysis skills, investigative qualities, and team working abilities, as well as a strong sense of social responsibility, whether you wish to pursue a career in criminal law or hope to drive social change.

At Keele, you will build a solid foundation in the seven essential areas of legal knowledge: Contract Law, Tort Law, Public Law, Criminal Law, European Law, Land Law, and Equity & Trusts.
