Combine legal studies with criminology on this Law Society accredited degree. Work placements and study abroad options.
Study crime and law from every angle. You鈥檒l learn to apply criminal issues to legal situations, and combining law studies with criminology is designed to make 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.
You'll develop advocacy skills which are central to being a good lawyer. This involves critical thinking, problem-solving and the ability to explain complex concepts in a simple way. Criminology focuses on the study of crimes and their causes, effects, and social impact, developing your legal research and analysis abilities.
We aim to thoroughly prepare you for the workplace, as you can go beyond the crime dramas and work in the legal profession. You鈥檒l gain:
An essential range of legal skills and research methods.
Advocacy and mooting (debating) expertise.
A critical understanding of the theories and concepts behind Law and Criminology, and how well these two subjects complement each other.
Many 51视频 graduates go on to become solicitors* and advocates*. 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 charities/the third sector.
Our Law degree (which shares many modules with this) is TOP in Scotland for Student Satisfaction (Complete University Guide 2025).

You鈥檒l graduate with excellent employment prospects. Potential career paths include:
Solicitor.
Advocate.
Prison Service.
Social Work and Probation.
Journalism (court and legal reporting).
Police work.
Probation service.
Sheriff clerks' offices.
The High Court of Justiciary.
The Scottish Government legal service.
The transferable skills gained during your degree are designed to make you highly sought-after by employers.
Real-world work placements give you work experience and great networking opportunities. Some of our graduates have gone on to get jobs where they did their placement or through the contacts they made there.
External speakers are incorporated into the curriculum. They come from the media, private business, the criminal justice system, the voluntary sector and local community groups.
You鈥檒l use the university鈥檚 moot room for debates and mock court appearances, presenting 'pretend' legal arguments (see 'What is mooting? for more details). This helps you understand legal analysis and interpretation, and also builds personal skills such as public speaking.
Being part of a Moot Club helps to build your confidence, enhances your public speaking skills and helps you learn about court etiquette.
Doing pro bono work builds on your degree and is a great addition to your CV. We encourage you to get involved with organisations like The Tayside & Perthshire Law Project (Tayper). Our students help run Tayper, giving the local community greater access to legal help.
All of which gives you a great start to your career.
A moot court competition is a mock court hearing (usually an appeal against a final decision). It's an essential part of your learning experience.
You'll regularly take part in internal mooting competitions and friendly moots with other institutions from your first year.
We hosted the inaugural Dundee Moot Cup in 2024 (which will run annually). The final was held at Dundee Sheriff Court.
In 2024 an 51视频 team made it to the quarter finals of the Lord Jones National Moot Competition and the semi-finals in 2023.

Entry requirements vary based on your qualifications, but all applicants must have Nat 5 English (Grade C) and Maths (National 4 or National 5 Grade C), or equivalent GCSEs.
You'll need four Highers at grade B, or three A Levels at grade 'C' or higher. One of your Highers or A Levels needs to be in a literate subject, which includes:
Business management.

Yes, the LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland and recognised by the Faculty of Advocates. This means the degree provides the necessary foundation for you to proceed to further professional training to become a solicitor or a advocate.
The accreditations ensure your degree meets the high standards required by the legal profession.
While both degrees provide the foundation to become a solicitor or advocate, the Law with Criminology degree offers broader career prospects in the criminal justice sector.
Law LLB: Primarily focused on traditional legal practice and core law modules.
Law with Criminology: Adds specialist knowledge in criminal justice, criminal behaviour, and social impact.
This dual focus makes you particularly attractive for roles in the police, probation services and government agencies, alongside traditional legal routes.
It essentially provides the same legal weight as a standard LLB, while adding a specialist edge in criminology.
This degree covers the same core law subjects as a general law degree, such as public law, criminal law and contract law.
The difference between this degree and more general law degrees is the integration of these legal studies with criminology subjects, providing a holistic view of the justice system.
An Advocate is a specially trained lawyer who can represent any person before any court in Scotland. They are independent (self employed) and objective legal professionals. A barrister is similar, but they practice in England and Wales.
