What you will study
Our Criminology and Sociology degree is taught within our interdisciplinary School of Social Sciences.
Crime and justice are endlessly fascinating subjects. Studying sociology and criminology with us, you’ll develop your understanding of the concepts, theories and principles of both criminology and sociology. You’ll explore why people commit crime, the relationship between behaviours and punishments, and the workings of the criminal justice system.
You’ll develop your research and analytical skills in addressing contemporary criminological and sociological problems. You’ll master the methods and analytical tools required to conduct and evaluate research on contemporary problems relating to crime, deviance and social control.
From the second year, you’ll also be able to choose from a wide variety of different modules, such as hate crime and cyber-crime, among others. All our modules are taught by experts in the field and cover issues at the cutting-edge of current criminological and sociological debates.
