9am - 3pm

The complexities of the Law, Justice and Policing system are unravelled to reveal the many components which make up the structure of our societies.
Your students will learn about the inter-dependencies of the disciplines, showcasing the variety of career opportunities available for graduates in these fields. Our events can take place at the University and some at your school or college.
To allow enough time for us to put everything in place for these events we ask for a minimum of 5 weeks notice from receiving the booking request to your 1st preference date of activity.
