Summary
Our Master of Laws (LLM) degree will enable students who have achieved a degree in Law (or related subject) to study Law at Master’s level. This will give students an extensive and critical understanding of Criminal Law and the Criminal Justice System, looking at contemporary issues and practice.
You will develop your research, academic writing, critical thinking, and employability skills whilst studying different aspects of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice. Indicative modules include Theory of Criminal Justice, Criminal Law, Criminal Evidence and Litigation, International Criminal Law, and Domestic and Global Terrorism. You will also complete a dissertation on an area of your choice, supported by our expert academics. Moreover, at the end of your Master’s degree you will have the option to complete a specialist preparation course for the first Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination.
There are many extra-curricular opportunities you can be involved in, that could include pro bono work, mediation, work experience in a law firm or mini pupillage, in addition to participating in mooting competitions, client interviewing competitions, or contributing to the University of Chichester Student Law Review.
This degree will enable students to prepare for graduate employment. It can lead to several career opportunities within the Criminal Justice System, and within Law more widely. For example, working as a solicitor or barrister, for the Prison or Probation Service, within the Court and Tribunals Service, or for the Crown Prosecution Service or Police.

The University of Chichester is situated in the beautiful county of West Sussex. Our heritage dates back to the 19th Century, when Bishop Otter College was established in 1839. Previously a teaching college, Chichester then became a university.
The University has two campuses, Bishop Otter Campus in Chichester which is a 10-minute walk from the city centre, and the Bognor Regis Campus which is located 915 steps from an award-winning beach. Both campuses have excellent public transport links. Our campuses host buildings that are both historic and modern, specialist and technologically innovative, all set in beautifully tended gardens.
