We place students at the centre of everything we do. Not only can you be assured of high quality research informed teaching, but also personal and study support. We have developed close links with local, national and international criminal justice agencies to enhance our distinctive ‘applied’ focus to learning about crime. Through our ‘insights from practice’ initiative, you will experience a range of guest speakers who are professionals and practitioners working within the justice system. Flexibility and choice are built into our Applied Criminology programmes. At the end of the first year if you are a combined honours student you can choose to change the balance of your course so that criminology can be studied as a joint honours degree or as a minor or major subject. You are also able to continue into your second and third years as an Applied Criminology single honours student. Choice is also provided through the range of exciting optional modules available. “I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help and support in my endeavours to do well in Criminology.
