International Foundation in Business, Humanities and Social Sciences (3-Term), Leading to Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Criminology and Social Policy

Program Overview

Prepare for entry to Year 1 of an undergraduate degree in a range of accounting, business, economics, finance, humanities, social sciences and law-related subjects at Queen's University Belfast.

Leading to:- Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Criminology and Social Policy
Criminology focuses on the causes and consequences of crime, as well as how the criminal justice system responds to crime. Criminologists are interested in how activities come to be defined as criminal, and why definitions of crime vary across countries and over time. The subject includes a wide range of sociological and psychological theories that attempt to explain criminal behaviour, the harms associated with offending and how the criminal justice system operates.

Social Policy students learn how to tackle major policy problems. They do this by applying core concepts from social science to intractable social problems such as gender inequality, eldercare, children's rights and climate change. There is strong crossover between criminology and social policy as many of the people who end up within the criminal justice system have experienced poverty, inequality or discrimination. As an applied and critical social science, you will gain knowledge and understanding of contemporary government policies, their impacts, and consider how we can achieve improvements.
