What you studyLaw & CriminologyAfrican StudiesAncient Middle Eastern LanguagesClassical StudiesComparative Literary Studies
What it isYou study law and criminology together over four years, combining legal theory with the study of crime and the criminal justice system. This paired degree gives you breadth across both fields rather than specializing in law alone. It suits students curious about how law and crime intersect, who want options beyond traditional legal practice.Humanities I is your first year of study in the liberal arts, where you explore human culture, language, history, and society through subjects like English, history, drama, and linguistics. You take a range of courses across these fields to discover what interests you before specializing in a particular discipline in later years. This suits students who are curious about how people think, communicate, and organize themselves, but aren't yet certain which humanities subject to focus on.
