Bachelor of Law - Law and Criminal Justice (M150)

Based in central London, the course can be customised to suit students career ambitions. By choosing from a range of optional specialist modules – which are exclusive to this course – students can learn about topics such as criminal evidence and procedure, countering terrorism, and how effectively the international criminal justice system responds to mass atrocities.

Law and justice are about advocacy and communication, and this course is designed to enable students to find their own voice. In line with Westminster’s ethos of diversity and inclusion, students will learn in a supportive environment and be empowered to express their opinions and debate the law.

With a strong emphasis on social justice and human rights, students will analyse legal issues in the media such as police powers and race, and the role of victims in the criminal justice system. They'll also undertake an extended research project which will enable them to focus on a cause that matters to them. Students will get the chance to put their skills into practice by working in Westminster’s Legal Advice Clinic – providing legal support to people in the local community while gaining valuable work experience.
