BA (Hons) Criminology
There's more to crime than just "guilty or innocent". What are the social and psychological factors behind it? Who decides what we outlaw? How do we offer help and change behaviour? Develop the personal and professional skills required for a career addressing crime and society with this degree in criminology.
As part of this course, you’ll:
- Explore crime as a vast political and cultural topic that concerns and affects everyone
- Be introduced to a range of perspectives on crime and its impact on society
- Develop a solid grounding in the theories that sit at the core of criminology
- Cultivate a deeper understanding of our current responses to crime with a view to helping shape more effective policies and legislation in the future
- Develop the academic, personal and professional skills needed to forge a successful career in a variety of roles, whether you want to work with offenders, the victims of crime or in organisations tasked with reducing offending
Learn from experts
Each of your modules will be taught by an expert staff member working at the forefront of criminological theories. Their expertise includes theories of policing, prostitution studies, domestic violence, sexual offending, as well as race and crime, underpinning your criminology degree with real-world insight.
Through our guest lecture series, a range of practitioners share their insights and professional experience. Past speakers have included representatives from the probation and police services.
In my criminalistics class my module leader was involved with crime scene investigations so his first hand experience really inspired me. The classes were really thought provoking, it made me realise you have to focus on the smaller details to find the bigger picture.
