About Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - Law and Criminology - Accelerated
The unique structure of the University of Buckingham’s Bachelor of Law (Honours) - Law and Criminology - Accelerated, with four full teaching terms per calendar year, enables students to graduate after just two years of study (eight, or nine terms with September start).
In addition to legal studies, students will complete 120 units of criminology, allowing them to develop a deep and wide-ranging understanding of the origins, causes and consequences of crime and criminality. This includes knowledge and understanding of legal and criminological research methods, referencing protocols and the different primary and secondary sources of law. Criminology itself is an interdisciplinary subject comprised of the legal, social, psychological, and cultural aspects of crime.
The Law and Criminology degree also satisfies the necessary first step for qualifying as a lawyer in various common law jurisdictions, including Canada, Nigeria, the Bahamas, and Bermuda.
For those students interested in qualifying as a solicitor in the UK, the Law and Criminology degree provides them with thorough preparation for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam 1 (SQE1), enabling them to choose the accelerated SQE1 preparation courses after graduation. The University of Buckingham’s innovative and diverse curriculum also contributes to preparation for the practice-orientated SQE2, both SQE1 and SQE2 being necessary for qualification as a solicitor.
For those UK and international students wishing to qualify as an English barrister, the Law and Criminology degree satisfies the academic component of Bar training, the necessary first step to qualifying as an English barrister.
Buckingham Law School also offers a broad range of extra-curricular opportunities to develop their professional skills and experience of legal practice. These opportunities include the possibility, between the first and second year of their degree, of a sandwich year placement with a professional organisation.
