Anyone offered Criminology at Nottingham?

That happened to me too. I wanted to do Law with Spanish but didn't get the grades, I got offered Criminology instead. Currently in the process of deciding if I want to accept it or choose a different university with the course I want. Many people have told me that you shouldn't settle for a course purely because you like a university and it's status. What matters is whether you like the course you were offered, you will spend 3-4 years on it after all.
If your daughter likes criminology then go for it! I think some people do a law conversion at the end of the course and then transfer to law.
By itself, criminology is very niche and often teaches you more about why criminals do crime/psychology etc rather than legal stuff. It doesn't seem to have many career options though (although that's just my opinion). May be helpful if you are sure you want to do criminal law?
