| What it is | This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession. | You study crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — what causes people to commit crimes, how police and courts respond, and how society prevents and punishes offences. Unlike a law degree, this focuses on understanding crime itself rather than practising as a lawyer. It suits people interested in criminology, criminal justice work, or social science research who want a broad foundation before specializing further. | Criminologie is a four-year degree in which you study crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — how crimes happen, why people commit them, and how society responds. Unlike a law degree, it focuses on the social science side of criminal justice rather than training you to be a lawyer. It suits people interested in understanding crime from psychological, sociological, and policy angles, whether they're considering careers in policing, corrections, victim services, or criminal justice research. |
