About the department

At the School of Law and Society we combine the teaching and world‑leading research of law, criminology, and sociology to create socially conscious and commercially aware graduates who understand the impact of their professions on society. This interdisciplinary socio‑legal approach creates resilient graduates who appreciate how their learning is being constantly disrupted and reshaped by the challenges of the 21st century. Our law degrees are innovative in how they ingrain the professional community into their design, delivery, and evaluation, to ensure we develop employment‑ready graduates. BU graduates lead in the employment statistics of the law firms in the South‑West. Our sociology and criminology courses examine the social, political, economic, cultural and psychological dynamics of local and global communities, as well as how crime and criminal justice shape the societies we live in. Over 90% of sociology and criminology graduates are employed or doing PG study within 15 months of graduating.
