Hey!
I study Law at Edge Hill University so I might be able to help you

I have just finished my first year and I am loving it. The professors are really knowledgable and friendly, if you have a question about the work or exams etc. it is really easy to email them or talk to them without feeling embarrassed about doing so. The professors are really good at keeping you informed on what they expect from you, and they send emails often with important information on upcoming due dates or with resources that they think will help you in preparation with seminars and exams.
The modules that you study are really interesting and diverse, and you are given module options from the start of first year. Most of the modules have examinations which for me are in-person and last 2 hours 10 minutes; but you will also have coursework due which usually consists of essays, or a portfolio.
I have spoken to several people with study criminology with law at Edge Hill and they have all really enjoyed their first year of studies, I haven't heard anyone dislike it honestly.
I am on The Ambassador Platform if you wish to discuss anything further!
I hope you found this useful
