LLB <strong>Law</strong> and Criminology<br />
The <strong>Law</strong> and Criminology degree programme at <strong>Cardiff</strong> is<br />
designed to equip you with an understanding of core areas<br />
of law and the legal system, as well as to provide a broad<br />
introduction to Criminology. This degree programme reflects<br />
the centrality of law in its social and political context.<br />
The Criminology part of the programme is<br />
intended to complement the content of the<br />
<strong>Law</strong> programme, by developing in students<br />
a critical appreciation of the processes of<br />
Criminological research, Criminological<br />
debates and the operation of the criminal<br />
justice system.<br />
