Course summary
This three-year course covers the foundational legal subjects and combines them with a thorough study of the principles of criminology.
Gain a critical understanding of the Common Law of England and Wales in combination with a thorough study of the principles of criminology.During your first two years at Sheffield, you’ll gain a strong grounding in the key areas of law and criminology through the study of the foundations of legal knowledge subjects and an introduction to criminological theory and research. These include criminal justice, explanations of crime and punishment and other responses to the phenomenon of crime.In your final year, you can tailor your degree around your passions and career aspirations – choosing from criminology and law modules like criminal evidence, restorative justice or policing in a global context. The flexibility of this degree means by your final year, you can choose to specialise more in either law or criminology topics, or you can choose a range of both.The spine of this degree is the Core Legal and Study Skills module, which runs through all three years and introduces you to mooting, employability workshops and study skills sessions. Because we want you to build confidence in these areas, this module isn’t part of your final grade.With law at Sheffield, you have the option to study your third year abroad in one of our many partner universities, for an insight into another legal system.
