Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Sociology and Criminology

Program Overview

You will study how sociology and criminology intersect and explore key issues such as how crime relates to inequality, marginality, identity, power and control.

  • Consider the individual motivations which cause criminal behaviour in order to gain an understanding of the reasons for and consequences of crime.
  • Gain knowledge and skills that can help you pursue a career in criminal justice or related fields.

Why you should study this course

  • Engage with content that challenges typical preconceptions about the nature of crime and disorder (e.g. about who commits crime, the harm it entails and how it is punished). In doing so, you can develop strong analytical and critical abilities.
  • Visiting speakers and links with organisations and practitioners will give you insight into the real world of practice in criminal justice, community organisations, the public and charitable voluntary sectors (subject to availability)2.
  • Optional modules in your final year allow you to tailor your degree to suit your interests in sociology and criminology.
  • Our course has been designed by experienced teaching staff, qualified educationalists, former criminal justice practitioners, active researchers and experts in areas such as race, gender, media, sexuality and class.
