Programme Specification

Careers

With a law degree, you could become a Solicitor or Legal Executive, often after completing further training such as the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). A criminology degree can lead to roles such as Probation Officer or Crime Analyst, working within the criminal justice system. Both degrees can open opportunities within the NHS, particularly in legal advisory, safeguarding, or policy roles.
