The degree will also enable you to develop the criminological skills to research, analyse and critique the complexities of behaviour categorised as criminal, as well as gain a detailed understanding of the workings of the criminal justice system. A compulsory dissertation provides the opportunity to combine specific aspects of your interests across both fields of study in an independent research project, conducted with the support of your tutors.
