Learning by doing
We work extensively with local practitioners and agencies. In return, they are keen to help you to get a taste of real cases and situations.
Placements, visits and our live client clinic means at Derby students you'll have a closer link to reality than most.
Keeping up to date in a constantly changing profession
Law and criminal justice is constantly evolving. Most lawyers and criminologists have to learn and re-learn specialisms on the job.
We've designed into the curriculum the support for how to update and widen not only academic, but also practical legal and criminological knowledge.
Your degree won't be redundant before you start work.
