Criminology BSc(Hons)

This course uses a range of teaching methods to engage and inspire you. You’ll have the chance to hear from guest speakers such as police officers, drug outreach workers or criminal justice staff.
You’ll take part in debates about the latest issues, such as why people commit crime, how to stop crime, and how to prevent people being victimised. You’ll also have the opportunity to investigate some fascinating topics such as sexual offending, cyber and environmental crime.
You’ll be taught by tutors who have a wide range of research specialisms and knowledge of the issues involved in criminology today. They’ll engage you in debates, and give you a good picture of what it’s like in the real world.
Many tutors have worked in the criminal justice system or the voluntary sector, and they’ll use their expertise to give you practical examples of the work you could end up doing.
In your second year you’ll complete a compulsory work placement. Previous students have worked with youth offending teams, in prisons, police stations and courts as well as in voluntary agencies supporting offenders and victims in the community.
You could also study abroad for a term in your second year.
