Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Criminology and Criminal Justice
Program Overview
If you're interested in the problem of crime in contemporary societies, our Criminology and Criminal Justice course is for you.
As a criminology student you'll investigate the nature of crime and criminality, studying society's response through the criminal justice system. You'll learn how societies try to control and punish crime and disorder, gaining a theoretical and practical understanding of this fascinating subject.
Criminology takes a social sciences approach by studying and classifying crime, and exploring theories around criminal behaviour. As well as the theory, you'll learn how society deals with criminal behaviour by studying institutions and roles such as the police, courts, prisons and probation service.
The course offers a wide choice of options in your final year and you'll be expected to undertake an independent piece of research on a relevant topic of particular interest to you.
Our Foundation year course is perfect if you want a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice but you don't meet the standard entry requirements. First we prepare you for your degree during your Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject. Then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
We recently revised this course to ensure you benefit from the most up-to-date ideas, concepts and research in this evolving field of study.
In the first two years you'll gain a solid grounding in the subject through an introduction to criminology and criminal justice. You'll study contemporary issues in criminology, the legal framework, research methods, applied criminology and professional practice, and crime, deviance and social history.
In your last year, you'll be able to research a relevant topic of your choice in a final project. Recent student projects include the impact of police stop-and-search policies in ethnic communities and the psychology of serial killers. The choice is yours.
You'll also be able to choose from a wide variety of optional modules, including drug trafficking, mentally disordered offenders, terrorism, prison studies and football hooliganism. You can also choose to take a work-based learning module, where you will apply learning from volunteering or work experience to your academic studies.
We consistently review our courses to ensure we are up-to-date with industry changes and requirements from our graduates. As a result, our modules are subject to change.
