A range of innovative, career-focused qualifying law degrees and degrees in criminology and criminal justice are on offer, which examine the complex, and often contradictory relationships, between crime, justice and the law. Courses are designed to help students achieve their full potential and the Department of Law and Criminology is consistently rated one of the best in the UK by students (National Student Survey).

The conditions a law degree must meet to be termed a 'qualifying law degree' are laid down by the Law Society and Bar Council who govern the qualification regulations for anyone seeking to qualify as a solicitor or as a barrister.

How did we fare in the most recent National Student Survey? How many students are there in the University, in the department or on the course you are interested in? How big are tutor and seminar groups? What facilities does the department have related to your chosen course? Is the library well stocked? Are there plenty of PCs and other IT equipment? What is Ormskirk like? Are public transport links good? What can you do if you don’t get enough UCAS points or meet other conditions of your offer? Are there any opportunities for exchanges abroad? If your chosen course includes placements, e.g. Teaching and Nursing, where will you be sent and what support do you get while you are out on placement? What scholarships and bursaries are available? Is the course professionally accredited?
