Department of Law & Criminology Welcome Events

Students outside the Hugh Owen Library

Welcome to the Department of Law & Criminology

We are delighted that you’ll be joining us in the Department of Law and Criminology in September. Our Department is based in the Hugh Owen Building and you can find us here.

The department will be running activities and events during Welcome Week, including a welcome talk and lunch, pub quiz and a walk along the prom to ‘kick the bar’ (an Aberystwyth tradition). These activities are designed to help you to settle in, make friends and adapt to life as part of your department.

You will be able to view a full timetable of our Department’s events from early September here.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Aberystwyth! Further updated information around AberWelcome 2025 will be available here soon. Keep a look out for all the useful information to help you prepare for life with us as a new student at Aber!
