Criminology has been taught here for more than 30 years and we are proud of our outstanding reputation in this area. You'll be taught by internationally renowned criminologists, whose research will feed into their teaching.
You'll examine real-world examples of crime and punishment, and get to grips with the history of how different societies have understood and responded to crime.
You'll also choose between a wide range of optional modules that cover topics like policing, youth justice and internet crime. We have links with international centres of criminal justice and criminology, including in the US.
