The criminal justice sector is one of the UK's largest employed areas, with a multitude of areas that require people with a strong knowledge of crime and criminal behaviour. We have had students apply their skills in areas such as the Police Service, the Prison Service and also those who now work with reintegration of ex-offenders in social enterprises. You can also apply for further study in a number of areas; criminology, sociology and research based master's degrees are all appropriate for you upon completion of your degree. Some even take an alternative route and take a conversion degree in Law or Social Work.
